Just to add.. this list is also available at http://www.cbc.ca/rss/
Looks like they’re missing the Making the Grade blog (rss), as well as a few you have in your sidebar (notably Mercer and CBCR3).
Also, for those cut-and-pasting, watch out for the “curly” quotes in the textarea. (Tod: perhaps this plugin would be handy, combined with using a <pre> instead of a <textarea> for the HTML.)
What an odd list.
I thought the point of RSS feeds was keep current? Almost half of those blogs are defunct, with no more new posts planned. The bike blog only has one post, saying that it is over.
Blake, when you get a minute, can you hook up Tony Burman’s blog to an RSS feed?
Your HTML is incorrect in 20 different ways. (You need to carefully encode certain characters to have them show up literally in WordPress.)
I posted a corrected list on my site. Readers can view the source on that one and use that code.

Thanks Joe. I’ve replaced my code with a link to yours.
Peter — Thanks for the code tip.
The list is automatically generated from Movable Type. It only lists blogs that are available for the public. Some of them are still in development but will automatically appear on the list when they go live.
Some, as people have noted, are defunct. They will be removed from the list once the MT config for that blog is gone. That will be done as soon as I get word from the blog author to remove the blog
Blogs such as Radio 3 and and Mercer do not use our Movable Type installation and are therefore not automatically included on that list.
Once Tony Burman’s “letters to the editor” starts using MT, it will appear the list.
What I want to know is WHY, for example, the Kandahar blog only has one post (that apparently was quite popular, generating +100 comments before being closed) is defunct? Was it too controversial?
