Oh dear! Quite unfortunate considering what Lynne was saying...

Magpie RSS is now throwing errors when it tries to parse the feed:
MagpieRSS: Failed to parse RSS file. (not well-formed (invalid token) at line 248, column 115)

Which seems to be in Peter Black's blog -
http://peterblack.blogspot.com/2...or- closure.html

specifically: �5,000

Not sure if that's anything to do with this change.

I suppose I should also look into whether my RSS reader has an upgrade as well...

Further to that, Feed Validator shows errors in the feed :/

Cheers Tristan, I've changed the encoding of the feed reading to ISO-8859-1 and that seems to have done the trick for now.
Just waiting for something else to go wrong...
