Not sure if this is the correct category for this post, but here goes...

I am trying to notify Yahoo of an RSS Feed. I keep getting the following message:

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping?u=http://MY FEED URL
Refresh failed. Feed not found: MY FEED URL^

I have been able to get MSN and other sites to recognize this feed. What's up with Yahoo?

The URL I am using for the feed is:
[api.my.yahoo.com...] XML DOCUMENT

Any and all help will be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks
RC

Add a '/' to the end of the url string.

For example... [api.my.yahoo.com...]

Pinging will just tell Yahoo your feed has updated - but it doesn't yet know the feed exists so try this:

[add.my.yahoo.com...]

But first sign into a free Yahoo account

Thank you all so much. The add line did the trick!

Take care,
