A New Look for My Feeds
Subscribers may have noticed a slight difference in the RSS feed for this site. You are now redirected to a version managed by FeedBurner. The main change is that my del.icio.us bookmarks will be spliced into the feed on a regular basis along with thumbnails of any new photos I get around to posting on flickr.
I was very impressed the other day by the announcement that FeedBurner were going to make it easy for people to leave if they weren’t happy with the service. I repect any company that is confident enough in their product not to need to lock in users.
Before this announcement, it was of course always possible to use mod_rewrite to forward requests for your feed to FeedBurner, giving you the option to opt out in future by removing the redirect from htaccess. Geeks always find a way.
To make this process easy to manage, I’ve used Steve Smith’s WordPress FeedBurner plugin which makes the transition painless.
If anyone experiences any trouble with the new feed and/or has any thoughts on it, please let me know.
