    I am trying to set up an RSS campaign with Mail Chimp. I get this error that it is not a valid RSS feed. I check it with the W3C Validitor and they tell me it is ok. Where should I look now for the source of the problem?
    Mail Chimp error message--invalid RSS

    W3C Validator validates the same RSS URL

    Thanks for any clues on how to proceed.

    Curious -- what is the =rss2 for? Does it work if you just end the link with /feed ?

    I actually had tried that /feed URL at first and it wasn't working and it wouldn't validate at the W3C. I at least got the "Rss2" to validate on the W3C site. But skeptically I tried your suggestion at Mail Chimp and what do you know, it worked! Lesson: try some things again that seemed like they didn't work the first time. Thanks for the push.
