I think I may have broken my RSS feeds, because I have removed a ot of the information.

I don't know the technicalities of it all, but wonder does removing content from an RSS feed break it, especially in relation to already having submitted my RSS feeds to directories.

Thanks.

  • Strange Characters can break how a feed displays in some readers. Bad coding or a screwed up file can also do it. With out more info it's hard to help you --

    ie what's generating your rss feed

    where are you trying to view it.

    • Oh no, I mean when removing an article from my blog, will that then have an adverse effect on the submissions I have made to RSS directories?

      Thus making the submitted feed broken and useless?
  • Nope - worse case scenario is you have a few links out there pointing to a page that no longer exists. If your using wordpress it will automatically 404 --- so even search engines can still see your other links and follow them.
