<p><code>element</code> must be an RFC-822 date-time</p>
</div>
<div id='explanation'>
<p>Invalid date-time.  The value specified must meet the Date and Time specifications as defined by <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html">RFC822</a>, with the exception that the year should be expressed as four digits.</p>
</div>
<div id='solution'>
<p>Change the date-time format to comply with RFC822.  Here are examples of valid RFC822 date-times:</p>

<blockquote>
<p><samp>&lt;pubDate&gt;Wed, 02 Oct 2002 08:00:00 EST&lt;/pubDate&gt;</samp></p>
<p><samp>&lt;pubDate&gt;Wed, 02 Oct 2002 13:00:00 GMT&lt;/pubDate&gt;</samp></p>
<p><samp>&lt;pubDate&gt;Wed, 02 Oct 2002 15:00:00 +0200&lt;/pubDate&gt;</samp></p>
</blockquote>

<p>Common errors include localizing the month name or the days of the week, not using the exact abbreviation provided by the specification, or attempting to use a time zone name that is not listed.  See <a href="http://asg.web.cmu.edu/rfc/rfc822.html#sec-5.1">Section 5.1</a> for the list of allowable values for these portions of the date.</p>

<p>Here is an example of an <strong><em>invalid</em></strong> RFC822 date-time.  This is commonly seen in RSS 1.0 feeds generated by older versions of Movable Type:</p>

<blockquote>
<p><samp>&lt;pubDate&gt;2002-10-02T08:00:00-05:00&lt;/pubDate&gt;</samp></p>
