Hello Chris,
thanks for your prompt fix.

looks fine to me. Now there is a caveat ;)

Rss 1.0 which I used on this script allows only title, link description 
therefore some parsers might arbitrarily ignore any other tags or 
complain.
Rss 2.0 has author and data capability but is sort of silly because 
pretends a formation like author@domain.suffix which for spam purposes 
is rarely used.

Let's see if someone else has a feedback  I will test it with some 
other parsers too just in case.
So far so good.
thanks to Devrim for trying this out.

Regards
David Costa
