I love the SmartFeed function that FeedBurner provides. When I give out my feed address, I know it'll be accessible from any browser, podcatcher, or news aggregator software. So everyone can tune in to the podcast. Much love for FeedBurner!" - Simon and the team at musiccanteen.com, the music download site for independent musicians 2/22/06

Character Encoding in Burned Feeds

Properly handling character encodings in XML documents is one of those things you shouldn't have to think about, but it's actually pretty complicated. We just refreshed the FeedBurner code to handle character encodings the right way, so all your fancy apostrophes and em-dashes should show up correctly in your burned feeds. This post from Mark Pilgrim really helped us sort things out, so thanks Mark!

If you're still having issues with special characters in your feed, please let us know.

You guys just rock. I've sent in a few new service suggestions - hope you'll have time to look at them.

I'm trying to put the following title in Title/Description burner:

Cato's Depot

but when I subscribe to the blog, a bunch of other characters display where the apostrophe should be. How should the title be input into Title/Description burner so it will properly display as:

Cato's Depot

When folks subscribe to the blog?

Thanks!

Hi guys. When embedding a youtube video in our blog, feedvalidator will not validate the feed. any suggestions?

Still I am having issues with special charecters in my feeds. And yes Youtube plugin codes too.
