I can't find a thread about this. Judging from the low usage rate, perhaps I didn't announce it well enough.

Anyway, thlayli.detrave.net/su-newgroups.html [thlayli.detrave.net/su-newgroups.html] provides an RSS feed that stays synchronized* with the New Groups page here. You can view the feed contents and subscribe from that page.

*I recently discovered that my crontab file got reset and the feed had not updated for quite some time. It is now running again. If anyone notices it hasn't updated, please let me know. I tend to trust in things like cron. :(

I get "Live Bookmark failed to load"

If I click it, it says "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded"

thlayli.detrave.net/su-newgroups.rss [thlayli.detrave.net/su-newgroups.rss] is blank for me. :(

3: I deleted it because of that error long time ago, and just recently bookmark it again just after reading this thread. Yes, it's still like that.

4: it's not blank for me... weird.

I think it's a formatting problem in my XML file. Bloglines can read it, but Firefox can't. It worked before. *sigh*

Edit: It's working again for me right now. I'm not sure what changed. I'm going to try deleting the file again and see if it can recreate it properly.

So it appeared blank for a few minutes, but then suddenly Firefox displayed the data. I'm going to leave it how it is. I think it'll work. It updates on the hour now.

maybe the validation failure causes it. (It's erring because of the '-' '&' etc in those group names )

I thought the CDATA should wrap any weird characters. Thanks for the validation link though.

Edit: I used htmlentities to check title and description and I think it'll work smoothly now.
