Administrivia part Duh!
Well, according to Blogger.com, last Thurday, the 22nd, I gained a new ability with them.
Anybody with a news aggregator can now subscribe by using this to subscribe with. I think. I don't know much else at this point. It's not RSS .9x or 2.0 or whatever the hell it is. But it works, even if you load it into Mozilla, which is better than I can say for some of the XML files I've loaded with Mozilla. Of course some of it renders as HTML and some of it doesn't. Weird.
I just looked at the raw file. It appears that I could do edits on individual posts with some of the URLs listed in it, if I used some sort of authentication. Weird.
From Blogger:
Atom provides the potential to share your blog with a wider audience. When you activate Atom syndication, Blogger automatically generates a machine-readable version of your blog that can be picked up and displayed in a variety of ways, including newsreaders, web sites and handheld devices. There are already a bunch of newsreaders that support Atom, including NewsMonster, NewzCrawler, NewsGator and BottomFeeder. You can find a growing list of newsreaders at AtomEnabled.org.This means that I still can't get my site listed at localfeeds, since they are looking for RSS. I wonder what kind of trouble it would be to take an atom.xml file and generate a RSS xml file.
Oh well, time for bed anyway. Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 1/26/2004 02:18:00 AM
