<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="LibriVox &raquo; LibriVox Feeds Comments Feed" href="https://librivox.org/pages/librivox-feeds/feed/" />

Two of those feeds appear to be inactive. And the other three active URLs listed on the viewable page aren't listed. Firefox use that information when one clicks on 'Subscribe to this page' from the bookmarks menu. Other feed readers use it as well.

But of course the links listed on the page can still be added "manually."

Moving the articles (A, An, The or in other languages Die, Der, Das, etc.) is intentional. It is a form of sorting used by librarians - to ignore the articles at the beginning of the title and start with the first significant word. The capitalization of the author's last name is also intentional and came into effect with the latest version of software in August 2013.

I am not sure which links you are having trouble with as they all appear to work for me. If by "inactive" you mean that new content hasn't been added in the last month then I guess you are referring to both the "News" and "Community Podcast". The News items are submitted infrequently when something really big happens like passing 7,000 books available not for everyday events. The community podcast takes a while to put together (the Librivox's 8th Anniversary! released on 10 August was started on 29 March viewtopic.php?f=22&t=45529). If you have some experience with them your help would be appreciated. The planning thread for the community podcasts can be found here viewtopic.php?f=22&t=37182

We weren't able to find that project. You must include either the Project Id or the Project Slug (i.e., "tom_sawyer_by_mark_twain" , without any other link info)

<link rel="alternate"

It gives the possibility to RSS Readers to find the Web site updates feed. Note that, at the time of this writing, the mime-type application/rss+xml is still a draft "The application/rss+xml Media Type" and is not yet accepted by IETF.

The first time a friend ever heard one of my recordings was because he listened to the podcast on the iTunes store. I didn't even know they were up there until he told me. I've assumed either software does it or else it waits in line for a volunteer.
