Ramblings of Narc

Okay, so, if you’re a subscriber to this blog’s RSS feed, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. Having taken the time to subscribe and read that feed, I have come to the conclusion that it is absolute, unfettered crap. It’s severely incomplete, obviously generated automatically, and ends up cutting a HUGE amount of the original post off, in spite of the fact that I specifically asked WordPress to include the complete article in its generated feeds!

Unfortunately, there didn’t seem to be any solution (other than, probably, getting a plugin to do the right thing instead). Until I looked closer…

Compare this:

To this:

That’s right, the atom feed is much, much better. Like, infinitely better. So much better, in fact, that it’s now the only feed I’m advertising for this blog. If there is demand, I will probably throw the Atom feed through FeedBurner and point people to that, but until then, the Atom feed, which rocks immensely, is king.
