From Milwaukee-ID10T – Memo to Big Gov’t Politicians

Clint reads and translates the Declaration of Independence for the RINOs and Liberals. Go, read, and then add him to your blogroll and must-read list (for some reason, Blogger is fouling up his Atom feed, so I can’t add him to my news reader). I can’t do it nearly as well as he does.

What is an Atom feed? I consider myself a tech geek, but I am obviously lacking in the Web geek stuff.

Atom is one of the two major XML formats (RSS, the dominant one despite Blogger/BlogSpot’s non-support for it, is the other). XML allows, among other things, news aggregators and readers such as SharpReader (what I use) to regularily update a series of subscriptions to a bunch of sites without having to go to each site separately in a browser and waste a heap of bandwidth on both ends.

To activate the Atom feed (Blogger/BlogSpot calls it “syndication”) on a BlogSpot blog:

- Go to your Blogger.com Dashboard (it’ll come up if you go to blogger.com and log in).
- Select “Change Settings” for your blog.
- Under the “Settings” tab, select “Site Feed”.
- In the “Publish Site Feed” dialog box, select “Yes”.
- The “Descriptions” tab lets you control whether to send the entire contents of the posts or just the first paragraph/255 characters.
- Select “Save Settings”, then “Republish Index” (that faster “republish” option republishes your index and your Atom feed pages).

Hope this helps.

The feed was already set to yes and full. Thanks for your help.
