The Landing files tool can be used to share files with others, comment on them and build dialogue around them.
Some files are treated specially: on the whole, pictures will be displayed as pictures (jpg, gif and png formats), audio will be played as audio (mp3 and a few other formats) and video will be shown as video (various formats). It is thus a way to build picture galleries, podcasts and vodcasts.
You can upload multiple files and even upload zip files, that will be extracted on this site into their individual components.
We welcome comments on public posts from members of the public. Please note, however, that all comments made on public posts must be moderated by their owners before they become visible on the site. The owner of the post (and no one else) has to do that.
If you want the full range of features and you have a login ID, log in using the links at the top of the page or at https://landing.athabascau.ca/login (logins are secure and encrypted)
Posts made here are the responsibility of their owners and may not reflect the views of Athabasca University.

A very good start.
Some suggestions...
I would recommend completing webmaster, pub date, last build date, copyrite (even if Creative Commons). Length is not explicit but useful attribute to have filled - some really good RSS feed applications can fill in the information automatically. Most of the automation in RSS feed generation is usually a cost item...but I still search for open source and free...
In addition a UTF-8 encoding would be more universal.
The following code has been cleaned but not substantially modified:
