Grabaperch RSS feed.

Is there an RSS feed for the Grab a Perch blog I can hook into?

I have found https://grabaperch.com/rss but it doesn't validate.

W3C gives the message: interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation: Feeds should not be served with the "text/html" media type.

Which suggests the feed may not be using the correct MIME type.

That's all there is for the blog.

Ok, thank you. It's not validating so I can't add it to my Feed reader.

But no problem, I'll check manually. I just wanted to flag it up to you.

https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgrabaperch.com%2Frss Shows a problem with MIME type.

Thanks.

The issue is the link rather than the media type. i.e. it's a content issue.

I think it's the rel="self" line.

If you remove all the content and just validate the following by direct input, it flags up that line. But I can't figure why. I'm sure it's not bothering you too much, who uses rss these days anyway :)
