Now using FeedBurner

Posted by bordalix Mon, 04 Dec 2006 17:13:00 GMT

Due to the lack of good statistics about this blog RSS readers and subscribers, I decided to serve my RSS feeds (?) via FeedBurner. The problem was, how to do it without disturbing my faithful subscribers?

The how-to:

  1. The original link is http://joaobordalo.com/xml/rss20/feed.xml.
  2. I went to FeedBurner and create a new feed pointing to the above URL, which resulted in http://feeds.feedburner.com/JoaoBordalo
  3. Added the following lines to my .htaccess file:
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner
    RewriteRule ^xml/rss20/feed\.xml$ http://feeds\.feedburner\.com/JoaoBordalo [R,L]

Done. If you have any problems with my 'new' RSS feed, please let me know, by leaving a comment.

Microsoft SSE

Posted by bordalix Mon, 21 Nov 2005 15:56:00 GMT

Microsoft announced SSE (Simple Sharing Extensions), which can be seen as a two way item sharing (think bidirectional RSS). The extensions described in the Simple Sharing Extensions enable feed readers and publishers to generate and process incoming item changes in a manner that enables consistency to be achieved. For example, two or more will be able to co-edit a post, which can be a huge revolution in the blogsphere. If you are a technical person, you should take a look at the specification page, after all, Microsoft launched it under a Creative Commons Share Alike license. Are the winds of change blowing from Richmond?
