Re: Feed Validator reports "misplaced item", seems wrong to me

Your need is valid.  The complaint it makes, though, is a
recommendation. (I.e., it's suggesting you do something for various
reasons.)

Feed Validator is probably complaining about the...

<atom:link href="MY LINK HERE" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />

... near the end of your code.

It is suggesting you put this BEFORE any of the <item> elements.


So if you were to change your code to...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<channel>
<title>MY TITLE HERE</title>
<link>MY LINK HERE</link>
<description>MY DESCRIPTION HERE</description>
<language>en-us</language>
<pubDate>Mon, 16 Jun 2008 07:31:32 -0700</pubDate>
<generator>MY GENERATOR NAME HERE</generator>
<webMaster>MY EMAIL ADDR HERE</webMaster>

<atom:link href="MY LINK HERE" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />

<item>
<title>MY TITLE FOR FIRST ITEM HERE</title>
etc etc, for a number of items, down to ...
</item>

</channel>
</rss>

... then it should be OK.
