site updates

Today I upgraded from Django 1.1 to 1.2.1. As far as I can tell everything is working fine, but if you have any issues please let me know.

I’ve also added syndication to the site. Both RSS and Atom are available, but the W3C validator says the Atom feed is invalid. Since I’m using vanilla Django feeds, I’m not going to fix it until Django does and valid. You can find them at:

I’m not a feed user so if these don’t work for you they probably won’t get fixed unless you tell me how to fix them.

While it’s great that you finally added RSS and Atom, it still doesn’t work! Half of the feed reading system is the implementation, the raw XML. That’s done. (Yay Django!)

The other half is discovery. I’m too lazy to dig around your archived blog posts just to find the post with the links to your feeds. You need to add a LINK element to your HEAD. That way I can be lazy! I don’t have the correct syntax off the top of my head, but my blog, as well as 99% of any others (see popular hosts like Wordpress.com and BlogSpot) has the code.

PS: Do comments support any formatting? Like, Markdown, Textile, or even reStructuredText?

…The other half is discovery…

Ah yes, now I know what you were talking about yesterday. It should be working properly now.

Do comments support any formatting?

Yes, Markdown, or at least a large subset of it. I should probably note that somewhere..
