Feeds and Feedburner

October 15, 2007 by Michael Boyle

The only real frustration I’ve had since switching to WordPress has been with feedburner. The disadvantage of not actually writing static files to disk is that it’s very difficult to validate each and every address that will get you to a particular feed. And of course I want feedburner to access one particular spot to slurp my feed and to declare the feedburner location in my headers so that no one else does. The worst part is that although there are at least 3 plugins that are supposed to deal with this and at least 6 detailed pages full of instructions on the web, nothing seems to have worked… but nevertheless, it does in fact seem to work, at least for the moment (it didn’t over the weekend).

So – now that comments are working on this blog again (thanks, WP!), if you (dear reader) could let me know if my feeds seem to be working for you (and at what address) I would very much appreciate it.

Shiny new site (well, new to me)

from Adobe: myFeedz – the social newspaper. I haven’t yet seen what they’re really trying to do with this, but it’s pretty slick.

Today’s episode of

“Unfortunate RSS Accidents” is brought to you by Aaron Straup Cope, blogger extraordinaire and, recently, an unparalelled mover of house and home. Aaron’s made a recent post about “Things I like about San Francisco”, which is fine. Unfortunately, though, his RSS feed sends only headlines. So if you read his feed, you would have seen the following:

Not exactly what he meant, I don’t think!

Check out Rollyo,

a new search service that allows you to Roll Your Own Search Engine by specifying the sources in which you’d like a search to be performed. I’ve been hoping to see something like this for years. Very Web 2.0 as well.

They’ve just released

October 8, 2005 by Michael Boyle

They’ve just released

the beta of Google Reader, their entry in the RSS/syndication feed reader sweepstakes. It looks fabulous, but it’s pretty blah overall. It offers no new features or innovations of any kind, that I can tell, and the usability is crap. Pretty much UNusable, overall. They break the browser and force you to use their crap navigation just so you can see their supposedly tasty Ajax goodness. Give me a nice interface, but don’t break my scroll wheel! What is it, 1996?
