Location, Used Inwards Posts, Breaks The Weblog Feed

We're seeing a few employment reports, inward Blogger Help Forum: Get Help alongside an Issue, mentioning problems alongside the weblog feed.

I attempt to claim my weblog inward BlogLovin, simply they country me that my feed is invalid!

or

My subscribers stopped getting my posts past times email!!

Both BlogLovin, together with the FeedBurner "Follow past times Email" service, depend upon the weblog posts newsfeed.

In whatever employment which involves a weblog newsfeed, I role the W3C Feed Validator, to await for obvious problems.

In roughly cases, when validating the weblog posts feed using the W3C Feed Validator, I larn a cryptic mistake message.

Undefined entry element: georss:box [help]
... 089035564831022 144.84375-90 -20.390625 30.24 ...

The "Location" feature, inward Blogger, lets you lot geo rail your posts.

It's slow to add together Location detail, to each post.



Retrieving the blog posts newsfeed every bit text, together with searching on the mysterious "georss:box", I eventually discovery a snippet of code.

<georss:featurename>North·Melbourne,·Victoria,·Australia</georss:featurename><georss:point>-45.089035564831022·144.84375</georss:point><georss:box>-90·-20.390625·30.243080935168976·-49.921875</georss:box>

The snippet containing "georss:box" is business office of an private post - together with subsequently roughly searching, I discovery the Title together with URL of the post.

Using the URL, I'm able to stance the post - together with at the cease of the post, I come across the culprit.

Location: North Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Apparently, the Location choice inward post editor, which lets us geotag our posts, adds this mysterious, together with poisonous "georss:box".

It looks similar the mysterious entry "georss:box" is non accepted past times either BlogLovin or FeedBurner.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 post containing Location generates a "georss" entry inward the feed - together with this is a problem.



If you lot desire to claim your blog, inward BlogLovin - or render weblog updates using FeedBurner "Follow past times Email" - you lot can't issue posts using the Location option. Until Blogger Engineering modifies the Location option, that's the simplest solution.
