RSS Feed broken..:-(

Posted : January 6, 2005 at 8:27 am [America/Los_Angeles]

As some of you may have noticed, I recently moved my RSS feeds to Feedburner. However, in my excitement to use all their cool features, it seems I accidentally ended up “breaking” my feed

Frankly since I don’t subscribe to my own feed, I probably would not have known about this had it not been for a gentleman named Philip Lippens who took the pains of sending me an email about it. Thanks Philip!!!

Anyway, the new Feedburner URL (http://feeds.feedburner.com/indrayam) should be working now. Also, my old Feed URL redirects to the new one automatically and should continue to work. However, I would encourage my readers to update their respective RSS Aggregators with this new URL.

Update (01/06/2005 13:54 PST):

Here’s a tip for folks starting out with their own blogs - ALWAYS SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR OWN FEED!

Also, I found out this afternoon that my feeds were not displaying images correctly. Reason: The URLs used in the images were of the form: <img src=”/images/blah.gif”> Well, since my feeds are coming from Feedburner, the images were all broken. Thanks to Brad Choate’s MT-Regex plugin, it turned out to be a fairly trivial tweak to the RSS 2.0 template of Movable Type.
