Feeds and subscriptions
In a bit of misguided tweaking, I completely screwed up the RSS feeds for the site. It was a few weeks before I realized the damage I’d done. (I was redirecting through FeedBurner, but only certain formats, leaving other feeds lying dormant. Bad.)
I think everything is fixed now. I’m back to the (new-ish?) default URL’s for Wordpress:
http://johnaugust.com/feed (for all articles)
http://johnaugust.com/comments/feed (for all comments)
While older URL’s should redirect, it’s probably worth checking your browser to make sure that it’s looking for the right thing. The feed now serves up full articles as RSS 2.0.
Each article’s comments can also be tracked as a feed. There’s a link (and icon) below the comment box.
I’ve also added an option to receive comments to an article by email. I use this feature occasionally on other sites, when I’m curious what follow-up comments will come days, weeks or months later. Let me know if you like it; it’s a plug-in that can be turned on or off.
Also, big news coming tomorrow morning.

What big news? What? Are you adapting the Very Hungry Caterpillar?

Earlier you admitted you were baiting for comments. Now you’re tweaking your feeds. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were switching careers to search engine optimization, which incidentally is MY day job. Care to trade?

Could the big news be this?

That’s great news. I got worried about the split thing and thought that the Weinstein’s got a hold of it and were going to split it into three separate movies, with fake trailers attached.

just curious, what problems were you having with feedburner? i’m using them too, could use a heads up if it’s easy to do wrong.
