When testing the script I am getting some errors:
rsslogger.rb:49:in `log_rss': undefined method `pubDate' for # (NoMethodError)
from /lib/rsslogger.rb:48:in `each'
from /lib/rsslogger.rb:48:in `log_rss'
from /lib/rsslogger.rb:41:in `each'
from /lib/rsslogger.rb:41:in `log_rss'
from slogger:52
Any idea on what goes wrong?

I\'m not sure the RSS module in Ruby understands Atom... I\'ll check it
out , in the meantime does your feed have an RSS/RSS2 alternative?

I had the same issues with atom feeds, so I tried the corresponding rss
and got a different error:

It appears that feed doesn\'t have a content field, I assume it\'s an
excerpt-only feed. Slogger checks the content field for post images,
I\'ll just have it skip that part if it doesn\'t exist.

I ran the feed through FeedBurner to convert it to RSS2 and it now works
fine.
