Wincustomize RSS Newsfeed is busted :(

Tuesday, November 19, 2002 by Chris | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I know its small matter (after all, I don't know many folks use it) but Wincustomize's RSS newsfeed is no longer working due to what looks like bad XML.

This seems to be a result of the The Skins Factory news item which includes a "&"

[title]Xbox and The Skins Factory Release: MechAssault & Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell WMP Skins[/title]

& is an escape character in XML, so its getting confused with the & followed by a space.

You can see the error in Internet Explorer by having it attempt to parse the XML by clicking the following link:
