  • ROR linkage/ RSS validation

    Hi
    This post is a bit long but I've included my efforts thus far!
    I have a ror site map uplaoded and I pasted the code for the button as html and linked it to the file. Google sitemaps say it's status is OK. But when I tried to add my site to the open directory as a RSS feed it said the code was wrong. I tried Feed validator but it comes up with error messages (see below).

    This is the message the Feed Validator gives
    Sorry

    This feed does not validate.
    • line 1, column 62: XML parsing error: <unknown>:1:62: syntax error [help]
      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
      ^
    In addition, this feed has an issue that may cause problems for some users. We recommend fixing this issue.

    Looking at the Generator on the RORSeek site there is the code...

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="ROR" href="ror.xml" />

    I'm just a bit lost as to how to paste that into the head tag, my code starts....

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Mad Mermaids Scuba for Dive T-shirts and Holidays in Fiji with PADI Instructor</TITLE>
    <META name="AUTHOR" content="Mad Mermaids Scuba">
    <META name="KEYWORDS"

    Any advise would be much very much appreciated.
