Atom feed contains relative href on self link #1

Closed Kristine1975 closed 7 years ago

Hello Marc,

your blog's Atom feed at http://marc-b-reynolds.github.io/feed.xml contains the tag <atom:link href="/feed.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" /> with a relative instead of absolute href. Unfortunately this causes problems with some news readers (in my case NetNewsWire) and also seems to violate the Atom spec according to this W3C validator.

I think the fix would be as simple as prefixing the href with http://marc-b-reynolds.github.io/:

<atom:link href="http://marc-b-reynolds.github.io/feed.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />

P.S: Thank you for writing your very interesting blog!

Thanks for the info (I have no clue what I'm doing WRT web-stuff). Updated and the validator now seems happy, don't know if the data it contains is correct.

Looks good to me. There's a double slash (instead of a single slash) after the domain name like http://marc-b-reynolds.github.io//distribution/2017/01/27/UniformRot.html, but that doesn't seem to cause any trouble.

Thank you for fixing this!
