[LUG] RSS validation at DCGLUG

The RSS feeds were valid after all (Simon!)

To validate the FrontPage RSS feed use the real location of the feed
(from the RSS/Atom link), not the HTML page.

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://www.dclug.org.uk/wiki/%3Fid%3Drss/FrontPage

I've added the valid RSS logo to the FrontPage and subject to content
created by members on other pages, all the Wiki feeds should validate.

I blame the FF plugin that Simon used - it doesn't LOOK for a feed when
you ask to validate the current feed, it tries to validate the (valid)
HTML that contains the link to the feed!! Duh!

You can't validate the feeds as displayed by the Sage FF plugin for RSS
either because Sage implements the feed index page as a LOCAL HTML file!

http://file:///Users/

If you try to load the RSS/Atom URL in FF directly, FF tries to save it
as a file so you can't win. I'd say that counts as a bug in the plugin,
NOT a bug in the Wiki RSS, Simon!
