Two problems here:

1) It would be a lot safer to base the insertion point on the first
<entry>, not the position of <author>. <author> doesn't carry any useful
information in the feeds we generate, and in fact I'm considering
removing it.

2) Do not use parentheses around an if condition. It's very abnormal
Python style.
