Missing atom:link
with rel="self"
Explanation
According to the RSS Advisory Board's Best Practices Profile, identifying a feed's URL within the feed makes it more portable, self-contained, and easier to cache. For these reasons, a feed should contain an atom:link used for this purpose.
Solution
If you haven't already done so, declare the Atom namespace at the top of your feed, thus:
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
Then insert a atom:link
to your feed in the channel
section. Below is an example to get you started. Be sure to replace the value of the href
attribute with the URL of your feed.
<atom:link href="http://dallas.example.com/rss.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
