RSS weblog has no feed [updated]

Filed under: Rant | 3 Comments

Today’s piece of irony is brought to you by the fine people at Weblogs, Inc… Check out their new[er] RSS Weblog. You’ll have to visit daily because there is no RSS feed.

Update: RSS has now been activated. Sweet! The feeds come in 3 flavors, but are only visible on the RSS weblog. For the others (at least at this time), you have to hack your way in. Use the following:

http://subdomain.weblogsinc.com/flavor

The flavor can be entries.xml, extries.rss or rss.xml for RSS .91, RSS 1 and RSS 2 respectively. The subdomain is of course the topic (in this case RSS).

It’s clear that these are pretty rough feeds (most likely why they aren’t linked), the related links just show up as raw URL’s, not links. BR’s aren’t translated into HTML entities, but at least they validate. Props for showing full posts too.

Thanks Jason!

    Good to hear Jason… It’s just one of those things that is so key to the weblogs genre, it’s hard to believe you missed it. Especially on a weblog devoted to the topic.

    Anyway, thanks for the update.

  3. We have RSS in three flavors for all the sites and all the icons are all the pages now… thanks for updating everyone! Did you see the google and spam weblogs? http://google.weblogsinc.com and http://spam.weblogsinc.com.
