An error was encountered while trying to add your feed

Hi there!

I am attempting to submit my podcast feed to itunes and I keep getting the email with the very vague.

Dear podcast owner,

An error was encountered while trying to add your feed, [ http://raveninaribcage.com/feed/podcast/ ].

Please correct the error and submit your feed again. For additional information, please consult the podcast FAQ athttp://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/faq.html and technical specification at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html.

It seems that some others are having this issue as well today.

Wondering if its something to do with the way my feed is set up or if its the itunes store acting up.

I have tested the feed in itunes and everything works.

Also only one flag on the Validator, which I have been told is not a big deal.

line 1, column 38: 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/

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Yes, you can ignore that error, it's irrelevant. A number of people have reported the same problem. It seems probable that there is an issue at the server which is preventing submissions from being accepted. I should leave it until after the weekend and see whether it clears itself up.
