Comments on: Out with the old… http://norunnyeggs.com/2007/06/out-with-the-old/ The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

I don't know which one is breaking Google Reader. The first is they're using RSS 0.92. They should really be using RSS 2.0 (it's up to 2.0.9, but I haven't seen anybody using that). The second is they don't have any descriptions. That isn't a problem for me because SharpReader will open the page in its internal (IE) web browser if a particular post doesn't have one (or if I tell it to, which I do if a particular blogger sends out only an excerpt).

The pending return of comments (which she got rid of for the most part) makes MM.com more of a blog than it had been.

I blame Pajama's Media. I will minimize my hits to her site, only reading the most interesting sounding pieces. Too bad, because I really liked to read her writing.

Still not pixel-perfect, but we have someone working on it. After the overwhelming success of Hot Air on WordPress, I think that it was the obvious platform choice for the MM.com relaunch. :-) The Blogroll and Categories dropdowns have been simplified so they work better in IE7 and Safari.
