Where is RSS/Atom link?

Sorry, the rss/atom scripts aren't actually complete... so I haven't been able to put any useful links up

Any update on this? A blog is hardly a blog unless you have RSS. :-)

Yeah, check out the "control panel" link at the top of the page, you'll find some syndication links there. The next sourceforge release will include these updates as well.

Cool. Hey, do you think you could put the tag <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Bliki-Title (RSS)" href="http://www.wikyblog.com/Special/Main/rss" /> to the home page's head section?

I think this will allow browsers like Firefox to detect the RSS automatically and allow visitors to add it to Live Bookmarks. Plus, right now the links are hidden in the Control Panel which I don't think visitors should be visiting. :-)

Yes, that is also a part of the next release, thanks Main 03:10, Aug 14, 2006

Could you please consider making the blog entry's content a part of the RSS? This way the entries could be read directly from feed readers such as Google Reader. Right now, only links appear to the blog page, not the text of the blog entry. -- 221.134.25.127 06:37, Dec 29, 2006

You know, we can do that... It would be difficult for the other feeds, and I guess I just never thought about it being a part of the blog feed because of that... I'll get right on that.

Hey, my blog feed does not include content in it (I could see my post as part of the feed before, but not now). Please check it out: http://www.wikyblog.com/Special/AmanKing/atom?field=blog

Any updates on this please? Or should I take it that this feature is difficult to bring back?

Umm... not sure why but the "Blog Feed" doesn't appear for my wikyblog: basically the corresponding link tag isn't part of the html... the blog feed is also not displayed in my control panel's Syndication section... the other ones are there. Note: I have Selective Blogging turned off. (I don't know how long this has been so... haven't looked at this for a while) -- --AmanKing 15:07 Tue, 24 Feb 2009

The blog feed was originally turned off when selective blogging was off to dissuade spammers, but I think it is actually appropriate to have on regardless, so I've updated it. --Josh

Hey, a request: do you think you could make the blog feed url (that appears in the link tags of every page on the wikyblog) customizable from Control Panel? The reason I ask is that for blogs hosted on WikyBlog, I may want to use something like http://feedburner.google.com to track my blog statistics. If visitors use the browser's autodetect of RSS/Atom (using the link tag in head of html) to subscribe, it will not be feedburner's custom url and hence not trackable. I guess this is not high priority and comes with a risk that the account holder knows what he/she is doing ('cos you can't guarantee that the custom url would actually be correct), but it'd be a great nice-to-have. (Of course don't forget to put a "Reset to default" option too, for those who mess things up!) --AmanKing 20:38 Thu, 19 Mar 2009

So let me know if this works for you... the link tag is not customizable from the Control Panel, but it is now an editable part of your theme. (There's no "Reset to default" option, but those who mess up can always start fresh with a new theme). Let me know what you think! --Main

It rocks, man!! This is amazing: I didn't know that you'd be able to allow this so quickly. Thanks again. --AmanKing

Hi, can you please fix the blog feed to have the title tag populated with the page title? Right now, this is how an entry tag looks like:

<entry>
<title></title>
<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.wikyblog.com/AmanKing/Jirb_Online_using_DWR" />
<published>2009-05-01T07:31:12Z</published><updated>2009-05-01T08:35:44Z</updated>
<id>tag:www.wikyblog.com,2006:935.8601</id>
<dc:subject>technology/oss</dc:subject><dc:subject>technology/coding</dc:subject>
<dc:subject>technology/ruby</dc:subject><dc:subject>technology/web</dc:subject><dc:subject>technology/jruby</dc:subject>
<content type="application/xhtml+xml" xml:lang="en"><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
... </content>
</entry>

Because the title tag is blank, feedburner does not list page views correctly. I also think Google will have a better time indexing blog pages if the title tag was populated. --AmanKing

Thanks for helping to keep me on track King. I realized there was a very simple way to get the title in the feed without having to change the database structure or having to make the query much less efficient. Your feedburner will reflect the changes very soon! --Main

It's all good. Thanks! I'm glad that it wasn't a big change for you. --AmanKing
