RSS expects dates formatted according to RFC 822, so instead of xml.pubDate(p.updated_at) use xml.pubDate(p.updated.at.rfc822)

Oh, it's something that just knocks out the HTML, etc. In that case HTML wasn't required.

What is "niceify_html_for_rss"?

Snippets Manager replied on Mon, 2012/05/07 - 2:12pm

And instead of xml.pubDate(p.updated_at) this would be better: xml.pubDate(CGI.rfc1123_date p.updated_at)
