RSS URL says no style associated with the xml

SOLVE

I was trying to pull out my RSS feed url for a blog aggregator and got this:

"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it."

Do I need to change settings or a code somewhere?

RSS URL says no style associated with the xml

Hi @summercampguru  This message simply says that the RSS url is raw HTML and doesn't have any styling associated with it (styling in this case would be font designations and other things that make the text look "pretty"). This is typical of RSS feeds as feed readers usualy apply basic styling. You will see this message if you try andview the feed in a browser that doesn't include feed reading capabilities (ie Chrome will not read RSS feeds, while IE and Firefox will both read RSS feeds) If you place an RSS feed in Chrome, you will a long string of HTML, while the other browsers will show readable formattted blog posts. 

 

The readability depends on the feed reader; there is not a way to adjust the feed to add styling.
