Location, Used Inward Posts, Breaks The Spider Web Log Feed

We're seeing a few work reports, inwards Blogger Help Forum: Get Help amongst an Issue, mentioning problems amongst the weblog feed.

I movement to claim my weblog inwards BlogLovin, only they say me that my feed is invalid!

or

My subscribers stopped getting my posts yesteryear email!!

Both BlogLovin, in addition to the FeedBurner "Follow yesteryear Email" service, depend upon the weblog posts newsfeed.

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

In or in addition to thence cases, when validating the weblog posts feed using the W3C Feed Validator, I larn a cryptic fault message.

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

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

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



Retrieving the blog posts newsfeed equally text, in addition to searching on the mysterious "georss:box", I eventually detect 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 - in addition to afterward or in addition to thence searching, I detect the Title in addition to URL of the post.

Using the URL, I'm able to sentiment the post - in addition to at the cease of the post, I come across the culprit.

Location: North Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Apparently, the Location selection inwards post editor, which lets us geotag our posts, adds this mysterious, in addition to poisonous "georss:box".

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

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 post containing Location generates a "georss" entry inwards the feed - in addition to this is a problem.



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