Three Weeks In and Still Kicking

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

I’ve been criminally lacking on updating this blog since taking a writing position at ReadWriteWeb. I admit it. But I do have an idea about the direction I want to take this blog, and hopefully, if I keep plugging at it, people will find it to be useful.

However, I’m mostly writing this today for two reasons:

  1. To figure out if writing a post will ‘reboot’ my broken FeedBurner feed into working, and
  2. To gloat a little about just how much I’ve been blogging over at RWW recently.

Of The First Part

So, starting with the Google FeedBurner issue.  I have no idea what it is, and I honestly haven’t had much time or motivation to futz with it recently.  I suspect it is similar to something that happened to Louis Gray recently (which you can read about here), but I’m not sure at all. If I view the RSS feed in Mozilla, I get something that looks like this:

But if I look at it in Chrome (which strangely has absolutely NO support for viewing RSS feeds), I get this:

So, I’m not sure what’s going on.  I’m going to post this, and if that doesn’t fix it I guess I’ll go into the Feedburner "hit it with a hammer" section and see if I can knock something loose.

Of The Second Part

They’ve been keeping me busy over at RWW. Generally, three posts a day, every weekday. That’s 15 posts a week, and I’ve been doing it for several weeks now. There’s actually a handy little RWW link that lists all the posts I wrote, and the number of comments on each.  So, that’s awesome. 

Plus, week I went to SXSW Interactive on a press pass, and that was a total blast!  It was so amazing to finally meet everyone that I have been reading and following in online, I forgot about blogging at all until a couple of days in. Sorry, RWW.

Update: I figured out the RSS feed issue.  It was a plugin called GooseGrade.  Updated the plugin and the feed is fixed.  Yay!
