For some reason neither of two rss desklets (RSS Feed and Glass RSS Feed) cannot get a rss feed from
http://www.cosmeticnews.com. I have FT and BBC feeds fine but this one is empty, though it has a proper title. I can read the feed with Firefox fine and I tried it with Yahoo Widgets and it also desplays the news fine. Is it the issue with the format of the feed or something is wrong with the desklets?
The feed is the following:

Its a problem with the RSS feed. They don't have the items in the channel section. So desklet tries to find it in the //channel/ section.
VERY easy fix. To tolerate sites that don't follow/meet the conventions. Open the file XML skin file of the desklet and the javascript code.
Everywhere you see //Channel/ replace it with //.
So you should read //Channel/Item... to //Item
This will fix it.
I've fixed the default one and its posted on the site.
