Update to www.ndsu.edu news feeds

Created by Jill |

Updated the news feeds for www.ndsu.edu sites to escape special characters like ampersands (&) in article titles and description.  This will avoid future errors with broken feeds in the event such a character is used.

At this time it is not possible to update the feed link to point to a site's home page (note that it currently links to www.ndsu.edu).  A feature request has been filed under the CMS project to change this behavior.

Further, a feature request has been filed under the CMS project to update the author format in the feed to be "email_address (real_name)" to follow RSS best practices.

Sites not under www.ndsu.edu (e.g. not its.ndsu.edu) should "go-live" in order to adopt these changes.
