I am using uBlogsy for my site's blog and want to be able to use the built in RSS feed to display latest articles on the home page and various other product pages. It's perfect for me because it allows me to use categories, authors and tags to display related posts on the various pages.

However when I place the FeedViewer macro on the page I get the aforementioned parsing error. It works perfect when I use outside RSS feeds from other sites. It also works perfectly when I pass the feed through FeedBurner first. FeedBurner does not allow me to use the category and tags query string though so that is not a solution.

On thing I did notice is that when I place the macro in the editor using the internal blog URL that it strips out the domain information ( http://www.mysite.com/ ) and the URL shows only as a relative URL ( /blog/rss/ ).

I am not yet sure if that is the problem or not. I am looking for other possible causes or solutions.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated. Here is the umbfeedViewer.xslt.
