Happiness and Joy

| | Comments (3)

Those of you who know me know how well web programming and I get along (not at all). So it was with much trepidation that I tried to tackle the RSS feed issue the awesome Steve Novoselac kept running into. However, it turned out to be a poor choice of default values in the RSS feed templates. For whatever reason, my Atom and RSS 2.0 templates had convert_breaks set to "0" instead of "1." After hunting around in the templates for a while, I spotted the goof-up and fixed it.

So from here on out, the RSS feeds should be significantly easier to read since they have line breaks.

(Note, I almost posted this entry without a single line break in it -- that'd be rather ironic.)

yay!!! no i can finally read your blog in a rss reader instead of a full blown browser.

btw, will you be updating rblibrary.com with the same fix?

thanks aaron,

I was unaware there were any RSS problems with RBLibrary. I doubt it's the same fix as this was specific to the way MT does thing, and RBLibrary uses ZenCart for it's stuff. You should email bill@rblibrary.com and tell him the RSS feed is messed up though.

Two words: Woo Hoo! My RSS reader is much happier.
