The html links internal to the descriptions aren't working correctly in my RSS feed. I'm seeing the whole code between the <> brackets, not the hyperlinked text. For example, I see this <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/11/20/wdarwin20.xml&sSheet=/portal/2005/11/20/ixportal.html">Telegraph report,</a>

The html links internal to the descriptions aren't working correctly in my RSS feed. I'm seeing the whole code between the <> brackets, not the hyperlinked text. For example, I see this
<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/11/20/wdarwin20.xml&sSheet=/portal/2005/11/20/ixportal.html">Telegraph report,</a>
Instead of a hyperlinked "Telegraph report."
Any tips on how to fix this?

As mentioned in the other thread it's not really good practice according to a google search, but it may work in some readers if you do this:
In rssfeed.php, replace
$str = str_replace('&', '&', $str); // prevent &str&str;
with$str = str_replace('&', '&', $str);
return $str;
$str = str_replace('&', '&', $str); // prevent &str&str;
$str = str_replace('<', '<', $str); // let html work
$str = str_replace('>', '>', $str); // let html work
$str = str_replace('&', '&', $str);
return $str;

You might be better off letting the Static File Generation created your RSS file. I use:
and then have it save as:
rss/new-games.xml
That'll give you a much shorter URL and will also cut down on queries.
