Geeklog doesn't care about the extension - it simply tries to read the file with an XML parser.

However, it expects to find "title" and "link" items in a feed, but the above feed doesn't have any. Not sure what this is being used for, but it's not a normal news feed.

I guess it would be possible to write a PHP block that does whatever's supposed to be done with this feed, though.

bye, Dirk
