Okay gang,
I am not getting this. I have read the instructions on YouTube on how to set up a RSS feed, but still have not set up a decent autoblog feed from YouTube. Could someone give me a naming convention example, please? I could care if a video is embeded or not, All I want is text, linking back to the article correctly. BUT VIDs are great too.
Thanks,
Tim
Currently, my two config variations are:
1. http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/videos? for http://www.playerslayer.com
2, http://www.referd.info/tag/halo_reach/rss.php for http://www.haloyou.com

@Lifebrightener: I'm going to flag Barry to take a look for you on this one as he should be able to advise better than me. Just wanted to tell you we've not ignored this we just need to look a little more into it.

The second url has some problems although it does pass validation. Would that affect what's occurring?

Thanks for responding,
I usually get a post from what Dr. Mike just listed, ex: on my site http://www.haloyou.com. The problem comes when I click on the link on the post that is impregnated on my site. I get this error on every post when clicked:
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Apache Server at haloyou.com Port 80
Is this and Autoblog issue, or a server issue?
If possible I could use some help configuring RSS feeds from sites that do not list buttons on their sites. Heck, the directions are not clear as to how to configure the feeds at all.
I am getting downright frazzled about missing the holiday market..
Please help, this project is taking far longer than I expected.
Thank you in advance,
Tim

@Lifebrightener:
On http://www.haloyou.com, I see %catagory% in the permalinks. I guess you mistyped it in your permalink settings in the admin. It should be %category% instead.
Also, it is not recommended to use categories in the permalinks. Here is why: http://ottopress.com/2010/category-in-permalinks-considered-harmful/.
I could not load http://www.playerslayer.com. The page is loading indefinitely.

Ulrich,
You are my wizard. Even my videos are loading beautifully.
I think these videos are commercials; not the advice vids I tried to extract from YouTube. But, hell I was totally dead in the water before. I love the fact that MU is not stripping the videos out.
Many thanks again,
Tim
