Comments, XML, RSS and You

I'm doing some fiddling to get an RSS feed that lists comments. I've got a handle on what needs to be done but it's not going to be finished tonight. In the meantime check the sidebar for some new links. There are three RSS feeds of interest - one that has full text and comments in the feed, one that has just the main articles, and one in RSS 1.0 format. Also, if you use my RSS feed from the CityDesk days, please update your feed to one of those listed above. (If your feed URL is to rss.xml, it's old, please replace it.) I'll be getting rid of the old URL at the end of the month (It's a duplicate feed, and I'd like to clean up the structure a bit.)

I pronounce it SOUP!

OK assuming this second post doesn't cause meltdown Movable Type seems to be fully online. It's got a lot of power and I need to learn how to use it all, but the site is functional. And it has a RSS feed (both 1.0 and 2.0 variants, although the 2.0 version isn't linked yet), comments, auto-archiving, AND a search function. I think I'm going to like MovableType a lot Additionally, TrackBack should be working, but that's a bit academic until somebody uses it. I don't see that Blogger is being listed as TrackBack tool, perhaps that's gotten stuck in the whole Blogger/Blogger Pro dichotomy.

Hello? Is thing on?

Testing the Movable Type installation. Huzzah! (It's SORT OF on. While Movable Type is working, I'm having some access problems that is preventing most of the links on the left from working. I'm on it. Oh, and once I get that all sorted, I'll restore access to the older CityDesk blog as well.)
