Hi, I'm trying to learn how to use blogs & I am running into an issue with RSS Feed Imports.

When I try & load  an RSS feed URL I continue to get "! That is not a valid RSS or Atom feed."

I checked with http://validator.w3.org/ for http://tia.sagepub.com/rss/current.xml & got 

Congratulations!

 This is a valid RSS feed.

 

So I am not sure why when I try & use it for a blog I keep getting an error code.

As far as I can tell I've enabled all permissions for using RSS Imports/Exports. 

I just can't find any good documentation outlaying the procedure for blogs.

Any help would be grateful. Thank You,

Sorry, RDF is not supported.

So anything with an .xml is not going to work?

If I am looking at feed urls, which ones should always work?

Thanks,

No, RFD feeds won't work ( http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_rdf.asp ) 

Thank you so much for clearing that up.

so how do we add a feed then?   I have a feed URL from Mountain Cave Rescue and i'd like to add it onto site somehow   http://cro.org.uk/feed/

is that the wrong type of feed as Im getting the Not a valid URL notice too.
