RSS Validator
This service tests the validity of an RSS 2.0 feed, checking to see that it follows the rules of the RSS specification. For advice from the RSS Advisory Board on how to implement RSS and handle issues such as enclosures and HTML encoding, read the RSS Best Practices Profile. This checker is also a validator of Atom and RSS 1.0 feeds.
Use this tester regularly to ensure that your RSS feed continues to work well in the wide audience of RSS readers, podcast clients and other software that supports the format.

The ultimate effect, as Postman sees it, is the shriveling of public discourse as TV degrades our conception of what constitutes news, political debate, art, even religious thought. Early chapters trace America's one-time love affair with the printed word, from colonial pamphlets to the publication of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. There's a biting analysis of TV commercials as a form of "instant therapy" based on the assumption that human problems are easily solvable.</description><link>http://curryscloud.com/amusingbbs</link><enclosure url="http://testing.curry.com/2011/03/11/amusingourselves.mp4" length="10572288" type="video/mp4" /><pubDate>Sat, 12 Mar 2011 00:14:55 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://curryscloud.com/amusingbbs</guid><media:content url="http://adamcurry.s3.amazonaws.com/BigBookShow/2011-03-07/amusingLabel.png" type="images/png"><media:thumbnail url="http://adamcurry.s3.amazonaws.com/BigBookShow/2011-03-07/amusingLabel.png" /></media:content></item><item><title>Daemon-Daniel Suarez</title><description>Daemon is an ambitious novel, which sets out not only to entertain, which it surely does, but also to challenge the reader to consider social issues as broad as the implications of living in a technologically advanced world and whether democracy can survive in such a world.</description><link>http://curryscloud.com/daemonbbs</link><enclosure url="http://testing.curry.com/2011/03/11/daemonfreedom.mp4" length="12549042" type="video/mp4" /><pubDate>Sat, 12 Mar 2011 00:12:35 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://curryscloud.com/daemonbbs</guid><media:content url="http://adamcurry.s3.amazonaws.com/BigBookShow/2011-03-04/daemonLabel.png" type="images/png"><media:thumbnail url="http://adamcurry.s3.amazonaws.com/BigBookShow/2011-03-04/daemonLabel.png" /></media:content></item></channel></rss>
