There can be Only One [feed]
Monday, June 13th, 2005Recently I added an HTTP permanent redirect to the old jujusoft/log feed [the original location of this blog], which means that all the early subscribers’ aggregators should be automatically updating their URLs to point to intepid.com instead.
Wow, that must be the most technical sounding paragraph I’ve written here in ages ;)
Anyhow, the point is that it’s seeming more and more important to me that there should be only one intepid feed, and so, after hardly any careful consideration, I have decided to lose the Atom feed as well [also using a permanent redirect]. Maybe a lot of people still don’t know what RSS is, but I bet there are even more who’ve never heard of Atom, and I figure that removing the choice will hardly disadvantage anyone, since all aggregators [that don’t suck] support both standards anyway.
Of course, the main reason I’m doing this is so that I can feel more popular; by rolling the duplicate feeds into one canonical URL, my Bloglines subscriber count has now jumped to 25 31 (from 8). Most gratifying!
