RSS or Atom?
Well, I’ve just started using an RSS site (http://bloglines.com/) to track various blogs I’m reading, and think it’s great. I assumed that Bloglines understood only RSS, and had been reading up on the RSS wars (which I won’t go into detail about here). I use Blogger for this blog, and Blogger has decided to support Atom instead of RSS. You don’t need to know the details, but I was not too happy about this, as RSS is much more widespread. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to follow even my own blog. Turns out I was wrong — Bloglines supports both Atom and RSS. So, I don’t care. I really don’t care. My Atom feed is here: http://www.bway.net/~dfenton/NoComment/atom.xml [obsolete: up-to-date link is http://dfenton.com/NoComment/atom.xml].
