Custom RSS

I have never dealt with RSS feeds before. I understand the concept, but within Dolphin I am a bit confused.

Is the Custom RSS feed supposed to be for content specific to that member? If I see an RSS feed that I want to add, that is not my own, it displays on my profile and can be mistaken as if it is my own. Also, when clicking on an RSS feed, it redirects me to my site home page, and not playing or displaying or redirecting to the actual content. Plus, in IE it just gives a blank page.

 

As an example,

Tthis is an original site: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/nutrition-diva

Her RSS feed is: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/xml/nutrition.xml

This is my url: https://caredesign.net/administrator

a member can add anybody's rss feeds that they might have found on the internet to the custom rss feeds block on their profile page, you can approve and disapprove them in the sites admin section, as you said you do have a problem (which unfortunately i haven't got an answer for) in that every news title within the rss block that you click on should take you to the exact page that the news title refers to, it should NOT take you to your home page, have you tried a different feed?

Thank you for your response. I just tried a different RSS feed and it does work properly. The original RSS feed was mp3 audio files that would play in the browsers html5 player. So, are audio files not usable in RSS feeds?

 not sure on that, the only audio rss feeds i have used simply take you to the page where the audio is and you play it from there, sorry i'm not much help

you did help. I did not even think to try a different RSS feed as the client wanted the original RSS feed, so I only checked that one.
