myYahoo cannot find my feed?

Yes i'm setting the contenttype *smile*

"text/xml"

Encoding is UTF8.

Here is my feed:

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/"
xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">
<channel>
<title>My Feed Title</title>
<link>http://www.example.com/rss.aspx</link>
<description>Recent News</description>
<dc:language>en-us</dc:language>
<generator>example.com version 1.0</generator>
<item>
<title>Some Title (blah - 123) (please work mr.yahoo)</title>
<link>http://www.example.com/1-123123-hello.aspx</link>

<description>this feed better work with yahoo or else...</description>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

Yahoo is saying "We couldn't find the RSS file you asked for
http://www.example.com/rss.aspx"

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sure there's a more scientific reason for this; but the couple of times I've tried to get an RSS into MyYahoo I've had to do it twice. The first time it gave the error you list and the second it takes.

oh i've tried more that twice hehe.

Could it be that they cache the feed you attempt to submit, if it fails you should not submit for 24 hours or something so that the cache expires.

I read a thread where something was having issues, and they waiting a day and yahoo excepted the feed.

I even stripped my feed down to 2 <item> tags, and really simplified the contents of both title and description just to ensure it wasn't some data it was complaining about.

this is frustrating to say the least!

it now works w/o any changes, go figure!
