eebmore: My Effed Up Feed

My Effed Up Feed

January 03, 2006

My fucked up feed is finally fixed. No longer just an excerpt, no longer just a title (which it has been for a while from trying and failing to fix the feed a couple of weeks ago.) Now my entire worthless entries feed.

So eat it!

Update: Oh good God am I retarded. I should make neckscarfs for a living. All this time I’ve had a fully functional atom feed. Apparently, at some point I deleted the link. Not that anyone who, unlike me, knows what they are doing would of had any problem figuring out what it was.

So eat this too.

Since I cannot resit but make mention of this, it is nice to see your use of full-text feeds. I caught onto this, but I think the last time I looked at this your blog had two feeds: index.rdf and atom.xml.

Well, you had atom.xml fixed for the longest time, but it looks like you finally fixed index.rdf.

Thanks from the supernerd.

the atom.xml feed worked?! Fuck. I thought it was all buggered up and eliminated it. Had I known, I wouldn't have bothered fixing the rdf.

hey supernerd! I've got a techie question for you. Are you sure it was an atom.xml file, or was it index.xml file? If it works, I might as well put it back up.

I've been using the atom.xml feed for over a year. Here's the link. http://eebmore.baltiblogs.com/atom.xml

I was wondering what the heck you were talking about. I get all my blog updates via Bloglines, and have never had a problem with your feed. atom.xml, of course. Oh well, welcome back from wherever you thought you weren't.

OK, WG (White Gonzo), nice to see you added links for both feeds. You are indeed an XML genius. I do notice some odd formatting issues, but that might be a result of the stylesheet my aggregator uses. I digress.

As for Broadsheet, you merely supply a URL. Bloglines--much like Blogtimore and similar Web/AJAX-y applications--will go and find the feed. It is much along the same lines as what Firefox does when it sees feeds within a page, presenting you with the ubiquitous feed icon.

That might be my style sheet and not my feeds that are causing the formatting issues. Last time I validated my style sheet there was something like 70 errors. Lesson learned, trial and error and cascading style sheets do not mix.
