Mine is getting altered.

The problem above ("something not formatted correctly") might be related to something I saw once the feed worked. The default body template which is provided when creating a new feed needed a bit of work. Default is this:

PHP Code:

{feed:description}

[url={feed:link}]More...[/url] 


I added quotation marks so that the [url] tag didn't show up as [url] in the feed.

PHP Code:

{feed:description}

[url="{feed:link}"]More...[/url] 


I will try this and report back...
