What am I doing wrong with this RSS feed?

[Justin_Bailey]

So I created this RSS feed:

http://www.gamingtarget.com/rss.xml

And every reader I put it through keeps telling me that the oldest articles are the newest and the newest articles don’t show up.

To RSS know-it-alls, what am I doing wrong?

[Chairman_Pow]

My reader, predictably also showed the oldest first.

What was the entire code you put up? I couldn’t find it on your site.

[Justin_Bailey]

The code should be in that link I posted. But for some reason it doesn’t show up. Here it is in it’s entirety:

Oh, and I also ran it through an RSS Validator which told me my XML code was perfect.

Take that as you will.
