I tried the RSS feed in my newsreader to get notifications about new reviews.
Although the feed validates correctly, there is a problem: the tag <lastBuildDate> has a date from November 2005 and doesn't get updated. This causes the newsreader not to recognize new entries, because it thinks it's still up to date. It would be great to get this fixed. 
One more thing: How often is the feed updated? It seems to lag behind very often. |

that could be a caching problem. Which newsreader do you use? I use Mozilla Thunderbird, and it works perfectly fine. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I'm using Vienna on a Mac. This isn't a cache problem, because I manually
downloaded the xml file several times (after refreshing the page) to check the date in a text editor and it stays the same. It might be that Thunderbird doesn't rely on the tag <lastBuildDate> only. In any case the date should be updated accordingly. |

I bet that Thunderbird completely ignores that tag ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:
