I clicked the setting in the annoucements module to allow syndication but I've a few questions on RSS feeds I'm hoping someone will be able to help answer.

Detecting Feeds:
Both IE 7 and FF 1.5 allow live bookmarks/feeds on websites that support RSS feeds but when I allowed syndication of the annoucement module either browsers detect the feed on the site. The xml icon is visible and when I click on that I get an xml document in FF and a feed wizard to subscribe to in IE. Do I need to check portal or page settings to allow the browsers detect the feed or maybe add something to the page headers section in the page settings?

RSS.aspx favicon:
I have set the favicon for the portal but the RSS.aspx page doesn't seem to use this icon instead it uses the default DNN icon. Anyone know why this is?

I found this blog about how to get the RSS feed button to "light up" in IE 7

http://blogs.msdn.com/rssteam/articles/PublishersGuide.aspx
 
but when I add the link element to the header on my web page using the page header tags field in the page settings it doesn't get formed correctly
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="your feed title here" href="http://www.company.com/feedurl.rss">
ends up when you view the webpage source as
<meta content="&lt;link rel=&quot;alternate&quot; type=&quot;application/rss+xml&quot; title=&quot;your feed title here&quot; href=&quot;http://www.company.com/feedurl.rss&quot;>">

I'm running DNN 4.3.5, anyone have any ideas

Micheal,

The rss functionality of the announcement module is actually supplied by the core, and as such i can not do much about how it works. However, this is an interesting thing you mention, i will point to this thread in the team lead forum. RSS Feeds are something that could need some fixing in a future dnn version....

Thanks Erik,

I've created an issue in the public version of gemini http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?ID=4352
Maybe it would be worthwhile expanding the "Allow syndicate" check box to include the option to set the title for the RSS feed and have the completed link inserted into the page header section at the same time in a future version of DNN  or move RSS syndication control into the Admin menu so that all RSS fields can be managed centrally if there are multiples feed on a site
