Finally got around to putting the Magnetosphere on flight404 proper. Nothing new for those of you who frequent this blog (unless you neglected to read the comments from 2 posts ago where I linked a couple videos). But there it is… in all of its flashy glory. I am taking a brief vacation next week, and in true ‘Robert’ form, I will be spending that vacation time fleshing out this project and cleaning up the source code so you fine folk can show me what to do with it.
your images are always broken when viewing your rss feed. I dont know why.
besides you know I’m just going to go look at the site anyways
Yeah… not entirely sure what to do about it. In Safari on a Mac, the images just show up as ‘error’ in the activity window. Perhaps a Safari bug? Most likely, it is something that I am doing wrong because I know very little about RSS feeds at this moment. If anyone out there wants to pipe up to explain it to me…
Looked at your RSS feed and images aren’t showing up because the img src is a relative path and not absolute. So anyone trying to find “images/magnetoSphere_04.jpg” obviously can’t see it unless they are reading the entry on your blog/site….
I guess I just dont get it. I looked at my RSS feed with a NetNews app and everything showed up fine. Additionally, I guess Safari and RSS are in the beginning stages of their relationship and a quick google search on the subject indicates safari wont show RSS feeds correctly all of the time.
And, when I put in the image addresses, they are pathed absolutely… so for the image of this post, i have it programmed as
http://www.flight404.com/blog/images/magnetoSphere_04.jpg
Perhaps you could tell me how to fix this problem? HTML is not my strong suit, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I was doing something silly.
The problem is not with the local path. It’s the fact that it’s not complete.
In the rss th path to the image is :
images/magnetoSphere_04.jpg
when it should be
blog/images/magnetoSphere_04.jpg
Just add a “blog/” in front of the path and everything will be ok
Ah, yes… silly me. I thought I had already addressed that but I must have been hallucinating. Seems to have done the trick. Thx Solidox.
