Re: we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed
Hi,
I'm having problems trying to submit my podcast to itunes. My website URL is http://rawstorylife.com and the feedburner feed that I've tried to submit to itunes is http://feeds.feedburner.com/RawStoryLife . When I tried to submit this feed to iTunes it says "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed." So I'm not sure how I can change things so that iTunes will accept the feed?
When I put this feed into Feed Validator this is what it says:
Congratulations!
Recommendations
This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
- line 2, column 200: Unable to validate namespace: http://www.rawvoice.com/rawvoiceRssModule/. See the RawVoice specification at http://www.rawvoice.com/services/tools-and-resources/rawvoice-rss-2-0-module-xml ns-namespace-rss2/ [help]

I use Wordpress "Thesis Theme" so I'm wondering if I need to have a separate feed specifically for podcasts? Maybe that's part of the trouble with the feed? I would appreciate any tips or advice you could send my way so I can successfully submit my podcast to iTunes:)
thanks so much,
