Question

I wrote my own rss-feed for a guestbook from my website so that, with a simple rss-reader on my android-phone, I get a notification as soon as someone posted something in the guestbook.
however, my phone doesn’t seem to recognize any updates; when I initially download the xml file, everything seems ok, but I never get any update, while there are some new messages, few times a day. Did I forget some parameter or something which tells my phone that there are new messages?

my code look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
    <title>PrivateRssFeed</title>
    <link>http://www.example.com</link>

Answer 1

solved it 🙂
the GUID seemed to be necessary for some readers to distinguish different items
