Invalid feed?

Started my blog (http://adminlibre.com) today and I using the "Syndicate This Blog" plugin to publish my RSS feed through feedburner.

I noticed problems with my feed because google reader was not showing my first article. After digging around I found what may be a bug/problem. It seems the "Syndicate This Blog" may not be creating a valid XML.

After running my feed against the feedvalidator at:
http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi? ... nlibre.com

I got back the following errors:

Sorry
This feed does not validate.

line 13, column 24: url must be a full and valid URL: img/xml.gif [help]
<url>img/xml.gif</url>
^

line 16, column 17: width must be between 1 and 144: [help]
<width />
^

line 17, column 18: height must be between 1 and 400: [help]
<height />
^

In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

line 14, column 97: Image title doesn't match channel title [help]
... managing Open Source, Free/Libre systems</title>
^

line 33, column 4: Ensure description precedes content:encoded [help]
<content:encoded><![CDATA[
^

line 44, column 130: Ensure lastBuildDate is present when slash:comments is used [help]
... oring-systems.html</feedburner:origLink></item>

Hi!

Sadly I can only debug this issue if you disable the automatic feedburner redirection; otherwise I cannot have a look at your "real" RSS feed.

By default the RSS feed of s9y is valid; but depending on which options you set and whether you enter valid img and descroptions...

A few of the issues seem to have been settings. Still a couple remain.

Does this link work?

According to feedburner that is supposed to be the original feed.

The xml gif and the width were configuration errors. Had to put a full URL instead of img/xml.gif. Then put the height and width values.

Hi!

You have enablde the feedburner forward, so this Feed URL cannot be accessed since it autodirects to feedburner.
