Favicon for /rss.xml is Quotion logo, not mine
When I add my site feed to an RSS Reader (in this case, I am using
http://reederapp.com) it’s showing the Quotion ‘Q’ logo instead of my own.
I was a bit confused because the xml itself includes my site image in the channel description … but I think what might be happening is that Reeder is looking at the Favicon when it retrieves the RSS feed … If I open the URL for mine in Safari, I can see it’s the ‘Q’ icon.

Just an aside, I noticed today that while Reeder on my iPhone straight away updated to use my sites icon after you fixed this, the Mac app still loads the Quotion icon, no matter how many times I remove/add it.
Also, I renamed a post the other day, and I can see the
rss.xmljust has the one (with updated title) entry, but reeder shows the old and the new - again even if I delete and remove.Just interesting, and maybe it’s doing some caching under the hood that explains it, but I thought I’d mention it here in case someone else sees the same issues and thinks it’s a Quotion issue.

Hey @JM , sorry for missing your reply. Could you confirm if this issue is persistent?

Just removed and added my feed again now to see what happens … still see the issue but when I look at the
rss.xmlit’s fine so I guess it’s on their side …Qing

Hey @JM , happy to share that this issue was fixed now. I just tested your site with reederapp:

@JM If your app didn’t refresh, you may need to delete the site and add it again. Usually, the favicon url is cached for a relative long time, maybe re-add it can fix it.

Works great. Didn’t even need to re-add. Thanks very much @Qing

I should have added a screenshot in the original post, but here are some:

Not sure how a rss app reads the favicon, but I’ll take a look

I was a bit surprised too but I think that’s what is happening because I can’t see where else it would get your logo from (it’s certainly not in the xml that I can see).
