I have finally got around to setting up the atom feeds correctly for both of my blogs. I’ve gone for a while without any feeds available, which probably means I’ve lost out on quite a few subscribers. Well, for those of you, if any, who’ve been visiting the blogs regularly, I’m happy to say the feeds are now available, and set up for auto discovery. The feeds are just the Atom feeds that blogger provides. As I said, The feeds are available for Lachy’s Log and Net Twits.

I was considering setting up an RSS feed as well, but having read the disasterous RSS 2.0 spec today, and Mark Pilgrim‘s myth of RSS compatibility, I have decided that RSS has been created as a mess of proprietary extensions worse than the HTML extensions created during the browser wars. For starters, there’s not even an agreed upon expansion for the acronym. It started out as RDF Site Summary, which was later chagned to Rich Site Summary, and finally to Really Simple Syndication. That was confusing enough, and now to see that not one is really compatible with any other, I’d rather just steer clear of the whole mess if I can.
