In need of some RSS/XML help...

At work on Friday, I set up a website that I am using as sort of my web design playground/sandbox. It is where I will be trying my new design skills as I learn them. I was setting up an RSS feed on this website to see if I could do it, and I was able to get the channel set up and subscribed to the feed using my bloglines account. But every time I tried to set up an item on the XML document, it wouldn't show up in the bloglines account while it did update within the code on the XML document. Has anyone tried this before, and if so, could I send you my code to see what I am doing wrong? I spent about four hours on Friday on this, and by the end of the day, I was ready to throw my computer out the window. Thanks for any and all help! :)

Figured this out - there is lag time from when you set up the RSS feed on your site to when the aggregator that you are using (bloglines) picks up the new feed. So I just need patience I guess:)

They say patience is a virtue, but in the days of the Internet, we all get a bit jumpy when it isn't instantaneous. I know I hate waiting the hours for a post I made to fully aggregate across blogline and my personal Google homepage.

Glad you got it all sorted out :)
