Feed Fixed

The RSS/Atom feeds should be working, now. I found a blank line in the functions.php file (for those of you who might be interested) which seemed to be generating an unwanted blank line before the xml thingee, which made some feed-readers break.

So now you should be able to subscribe to this blog (and, soon, my upcoming talks feed) by clicking on the orange button up and to your right.

For those of you unfamiliar with Feeds – most simply, it can create a mailbox for each of the blogs you read, right in your mail reader. New posts just show up, so you don’t have to prowl around the web to see who might have said something.

Now, back to work.

Yay! The feeds are working for me now.

I can now eat my fill of delicious Ruskoff wisdom.

Ah, was wondering what the deal was…
I use Netvibes (www.netvibes.com) which I highly recommend as a feed reader for those who wish to not receive emails of feeds. (If like me you stare at a few dozen feeds every day.) It’s intuitive, decently designed, and works really well as a central hub for everything from Twitter to Facebook and MySpace, IM programs, as well as feeds from news, blogs etc. One page for everything, tabs for organization… Insert widget, eat feed. Yum.

The other effect with PHP is that starting to output anything also sends a default header saying that the output is text/html, which probably throws off a lot more feed readers than the whitespace itself does.

HTH (although I guess it’s kind of academic, months later).
