Facebook won’t import my blog (“Import Failed. We couldn’t find a feed using the URL you provided.”). I ran the blog through a Feed Validator:
http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcontrast2.wordpress.com%2Ffeed%2F#l462
http://contrast2.wordpress.com/feed/

It said the feed was valid, but that there were 3 issues that could cause compatibility issues with some apps.

line 28, column 135: Unregistered link relationship: search [help]

… rdpress.com/osd.xml” title=”Contrast” />

line 462, column 0: item contains more than one enclosure (6 occurrences) [help]

<enclosure url=”http://www.trinitylectures.org/MP3/John_Frame_and_Cornelius_ …

line 718, column 0: content:encoded should not contain object tag (4 occurrences) [help]

<p><object width=”614″ height=”370″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.yo …

I don’t see any way to fix the enclosure problem (if it is really a problem) since it has to do with the RSS file formatting and not with my html formatting.

Can anyone provide any insight?

Thanks!

W3C (the World Wide Web Consortium) feed validator says your feed validates 100%. with no issues.

Try again at facebook but leave off the trailing slash. There has been a heated debate about whether there should be a trailing slash or not, and some places are set up to not recognize the trailing slash.

Thanks for the tip. I love a heated debate.

However, I gave it a shot both with and without a / and it still doesn’t work.

Any other ideas :/

Make sure you are using http:// at the beginning and not feed:// (even though it resolves to feed:// ).

I’m having the same problem with facebook http://tpepub.wordpress.com/feed with and without the slash at the end. The validator says that it is valid, but inoperability may occur because of line 28:

28. <atom:link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="http://tpepub.wordpress.com/osd.xml" . . . />

I researched this a bit and from what I understand the rel=”search” should be “self”. Can I change this anywhere?

We don’t have access to any of that. You would have to contact staff directly on this.
