ObLink | I made a few tiny site changes; you shouldn't notice any of them, and so if you do please let me know. The only major change is to the RSS Feed structure: the URL intro now shows, the title is more descriptive, and you may optionally include comments. (Comments are on by default -- resubscribe or complain if that fails to please.) The new toy I made for you is a per-user feed, for ease of stalking or more generally for piping into your facebooks.
Links to the site feed and to your personal feed are in the sidebar (under 'Syndicate', main page), and a link to any user's feed appears on their profile page. Those who know what "URL" means can just edit any of the following to suit:
- Specific user, posts only
- Specific user, posts + comments
- All users, posts only
- All users, posts + comments
AE is all messed up and I'm still getting comments in my RSS feed even though I used http://alkalineearth.com/rss.ae?posts=20&comments=0
For the feed reader issues -- I think you're seeing a cached copy of an under-construction feed. It's all WORKSFORME now, but I did catch a caching issue earlier while fiddling. Try http://alkalineearth.com/rss.ae?posts=19&comments=0 or something (this will look different and so not be cached). Better yet, wait til tomorrow then do that. Sorry for blowing up your google reader.
Layout issues should be fixed. I still don't know what broke: the site looked fine, of course, on FF and Safari but was a steaming pile of microsoft on IE. Do you use internet explorer? Does anything look different?
Well, after noticing 1000+, after seeing this post, and talking to Nate... my only course of action was to delete my old RSS feed and subscribe to the new ones.
Yes, along the way I probably lost some of the older posts or comments, but I guess that is what I get for falling this far behind.
In other news, I like the new set up better because I am able to differentiate between the posts and the comments, where after reading the post I can then catch up with the comments.
awesome. In my opinion the comments are the best part so I'm psyched they're easier to track now.
