RSS Feed Issue With Twitterfeed

[kderentz]

Ok guys I saw a lot of blogs use twitterfeed to update their twitter account by simply linking their RSS feed to their account. I tried to do this using the the default RSS feed on VB but it errored out.

" A feed needs to contain publish dates or GUIDs in order to work with twitterfeed"

So I check out the FAQ and this is what it says:

Q. twitterfeed says "We couldn't find valid date/time stamps or GUIDs on items"

There are two methods twitterfeed can use to determine if an item in a feed is new, and should be posted to twitter - by default this is done through the date/time that a blog post has been published, or (if you select the "GUID" option in the twitterfeed settings), by a unique ID on each blog post. Which one you want to use depends a little on the type of RSS feed you have.

If twitterfeed gives the message saying it can't find valid date/time stamps in your feed, try these steps:

* Take a look at your feed - is there a date/time showing on every item in the feed? If not, you may be using an older version of RSS (0.92) which doesn't include publish dates. Your blog will probably provide the same feed in RSS 2.0 or Atom 1.0 format (both of which contain publish dates), so try and find the feed URL for the RSS 2.0 or Atom feed (see the previous FAQ if you have difficulty finding the feed URLs)
* The dates need to be in a specific, valid format in order to be read correctly. If your feed does contain date/time stamps but you still get the above message, try entering your feed URL at feedvalidator.org - this is a useful online tool which can show common problems with feeds, including invalid date formats.

From the looks of the feed (Im running the latest version of VB 3.8) it looks like the default RSS feed is only version 0.91

And it doesnt validate.

Anyone know a fix to this? any way to update it to 2.0 or ATOM?
