When I ran a quick test it looked like Firefox did not recognize the relative link in this feed: http://kpc.nocostwebhost.com/rss.php http://imgur.com/ZPc982A The RSS specs are a little disorganized, but 0.91 does say: > must start with either "http://"; or "ftp://";.

This is in the "Netcenter Usage" section, so that might not be relevant anymore: http://scripting.com/netscapeDocs/RSS%200_91%20Spec,%20revision%203.html#link So, assuming I still want to display the fully qualified URL, what is the best option? Thanks.
