Well, I got the XSLT formatting hooked up. It's still ugly, but it works. Of course, I will continue to improve it.

Strange thing: I could not get the XSLT to work so long as the tag contained the namespace attribute. Removed it, and everything works fine. But now the feed does not technically validate. We continue to research...

ATOMic Troubles

I am struggling with the format of the feed here a little bit. I have figured out most of the important bits so far, but a few minor things elude me. My feed image is still absent, and the difference between published and updated confuse me still. SharpReader displays updated so I will retain the duplication until I find out otherwise. But overall, I think I prefer ATOM. It speaks to the geek in me.

By the way, if you want my ATOM format, you can use this feed and blitz the content, or download my template file here: http://members.cox.net/fwhagen/blog/_blogtemplate.xml . Share the knowledge!

Back Online (Again) with ATOM

Ok, it's build number 3. This time using ATOM, specifically ATOM 1.0. I am going to stick with this format for a few reasons:

I can embed XHTML directly in the feed for nice formattingeffects.
It's proper XML, which RSS is also but only superficially.
It feels better. Or more extensible. Definitely more mature.

I am building everything right now with a combination of cmdline scripts and UltraEdit-32. I am looking for a small, free winapp that will do much of this for me, and will probably write one myself. if I ever get around to it, I will share the source here.

So buckle up, we're trying this again...
