You may make it easier for people to switch by adding a link to the Atom feed into the post, I had to: go to the article page (i.e. out of my feed reader), hunt for the atom link, fail to find it, go to the home page, hunt for the atom link, fail to find it. Then realise that it was the little icon thingy and repoint my feed reader at it.

Although I guess most people who read your blog are probably savvy enough to work it out eventually!

Oh, almost forgot: have a great vacataion!

Good point. I'll make it clearer in the essay that announces the implementation of the changes. And I'll redirect the RSS feeds to their Atom counterparts.

I would like to drop also RSS from my my blog, but unfortunately not all CMSs support atom (in particular, not the one I'm using). BTW, the link that says escaped markup is broken. Greetings.

Alas, Planet RDF won't like that much, as we're really rather keen on consuming RDF, ie. RSS 1.0. There is a way of doing that and not encoding though, I believe. Time to invoke Dave Beckett here...

Sigh. Perhaps I'm being hasty after all. I suppose I could just throw all the markup away.

On the other hand, maybe PlanetRDF could map Atom to RDF.

It should be noted that the Atom feed for Norman's weblog is:

http://norman.walsh.name/atom/whatsnew.xml

I couldn't find it anywhere on entry's web page, and had to go to the main web page of the site.

Perhaps you want to add a LINK element to the each entriy's HEAD that containts application/atom+xml for the main weblog? I mean, you have a LINK for XML, metadata, and PDF forms of the entry, what's one more line really?

or maybe another way would be to use rdf:parseType="Literal" in RSS 1.0 as proposed by Dan Brickley on the wiki page about RSS content.

I directly switched from RSS to Atom to be sure to not miss an article. But I discovered that the Atom full text feed don't include the summary.

Bug or feature?

I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature, but it was intentional. It seemed odd to put both the summary and the full text in the same feed. I wonder what feed readers will display if I do that?

They will generally show whatever the user wants. Putting both in the feed is good practice.

F.ex. NetNewsWire has a mode where it will show an outline list of entries with summaries in one pane and the full text of the selected entry in another pane.

I'm deeply impressed with the people who managed to find the URL of the Atom feed on the site's home page, and very grateful to David Magda for spelling it out for me.

I'd feel bad, but I notice that when I look at the HTML source being served from the home page, the string 'atom' occurs only in two 'link' elements in the HTML header.

Norm, is it that you want a personal email every time someone wants to subscribe to your feed? Or have you done a redesign that accidentally lost the icon? Or is Opera just not up to displaying your site?

Comment 13 on /2006/02/01/rssriphttp://norman.walsh.name/2010/09/25/oauth#comment00132006-12-19T13:47:52Z2006-12-19T13:47:52ZNorman Walshda39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709

Uhm. I think the links to the feeds disappeared by accident when I simplified the layout a few months ago. I added a pointer to subscriptions to the home page this morning.

I don't know about Opera, but Firefox, and other browsers, I'm led to understand, have built in support for feeds so the absence of explicit links is probably less irksome now than it used to be.

But it was still accidental.
