I've started HTML-encoding the blog's title in the RSS 2.0 and Atom 0.3 feeds that pblog generates. I did this because RSS Bandit had a problem with the title of my blog ("<savas:blog />"). Please let me know if your aggregator has problems with this (i.e. if the title appears as "<savas:blog />"). Thanks!
I am also planning some more changes to pblog in order to improve performance, better adherence to the standards, and an Atom 1.0 feed. More soon.

Hi Savas,
I use Sage RSS reader (v1.3.5) in Firefox and it doesn’t show anything for your blog title.
It’s weird because Christoph’s blog works just fine: http://weblogs.asp.net/cschittko/Rss.aspx. Maybe he’s special (or doesn’t using a closing tag).
Anyhow, thanks for an excellent blog and best of luck in trying to get this compatible in the wonderful world of RSS aggregators.
Thanks Farzad. This is frustrating. It seems that the RSS spec doesn’t specify whether the contents of the elements should be HTML-encoded or not. Different aggregators implement this in different ways.
