RSS Feed = "Please enter a valid URL and try again."

I created a My Yahoo! page to see what the RSS feed looks like for my calendar page at www.TeleSeminarNation.com. But when I enter it, Yahoo says "Please enter a valid URL and try again." I had the same results when I entered the feed elsewhere. Can you tell me if there's an issue with my feed at the bottom of this page http://www.teleseminarnation.com/calendar/list. The feed url that I'm copying and pasting is http://teleseminarnation.com/calendar/list?format=rss
Thank you.

I never received a reply on the help item above... and today I tried to enter the feed into the "make your own widget" box at the top of http://www.widgetbox.com/ and the following message appeared, "The server hosting your content is password protected. Disable the password and try again."
Please help me understand how to unlock and use the RSS feed at the bottom of my calendar page.
Thank you.
Dan,
Sorry for and difficulty. I've opened a support ticket (#1374) to see if we can get some insight into what may be happening
Looks like a bug - http://teleseminarnation.com/calendar/list?format=rss returns a blank page. To work around this(until it's fixed), try the following:
http://teleseminarnation.com/calendar/2009?format=rss
Or to get the rss feed for a particular month(e.g. April):
http://teleseminarnation.com/calendar/2009/4?format=rss
Hi Tom, I tried the http://teleseminarnation.com/calendar/2009?format=rss URL but had the same results. The monthly URL is not a viable option for the intended use. I'll await the debugging. Thanks, Dan
Hi Dan, yes looks like waiting for a fix is a better idea - if the month (and year) is omitted you will only get the feed for the current month. Tom
On a related matter, I think one of my subscribers signed up for the RSS feed by mistake. (He's marked for "updates once a week" but he's getting notification every time anyone posts anything. How do I tell him to fix this so he doesn't get notification of everything that's posted?
My RSS feed still doesn't work. When I enter it, plus the two options you presented above, into the tool at http://feedvalidator.org, they come back "This feed does not validate." It's been almost two months since my original post about this bug. Can it please be fixed?
Thanks,
Dan Safkow
Going on 3 months since my original request for help. Can anyone at CollectiveX help with this issue? Thanks
Going on 4 months since my original request for help. My calendar RSS feed still doesn't work. I don't understand why you would show a feature that doesn't work. My preference would be for to work, but if that's not possible, perhaps it's time to remove it. Having it there, not working, is a disservice to my members.
Dan, thanks for your patience as we worked to resolve this and for sharing how you're using this tool! (http://champions.groupsite.com/discussion/topic/show/215708)
