I've got em working in a number of places on live.com etc but you're
right. No luck on google/ig/ Also. The nownext complete feed doesn't
seem to be picking up the data for cbbc and cbeebies ??
nice one.

Thanks Jem,
are you sure the last issue (not picking up cbcc/cbeebies) isn't just down to the number of items the aggregator displays? All entries have the same "created" timestamp (the time the feed xml was generated), so I guess if an aggregator was to display the last 5 items in a feed, it would just pick the top 5 entries in the feed.
Re. google/ig, as I just mentioned in the previous post, the feeds work fine with the google rss reader (reader.google.com). I even copied the xml content from a blogger atom feed that works in my personalised home page, copied it into a static xml file on my menti.name server, and tried to add that same file to google.com/ig, and it didn't work. So there must be something server-side (content-type or other headers? etc.) rather than the actual xml format that makes a difference..
Thanks,
Mario.
