Description
When the RSS feed is delivered, it contains links articles formatted in RSS compliant XML as:
<item>
<title>(comment) Blog entry: Photos</title>
<link>/blog/ltmon/2009/08/07/new-computer-up-and-running#comment-5706</link>
<description> ..... etc.This doesn’t work from any feed reader (I know of) as it doesn’t contain the site URL (eg. http://teamipx.net for our site). On my computer it actually looks for a file on my computer at the given path and fails with 404.
Feeds should always be delivered with a fully qualified domain name in it’s “link” section.
