Direct RSS links don't work #11

Open natestedman opened 14 years ago

natestedman commented 14 years ago

I attempted to link directly to an rss feed: http://www.natestedman.com/feed/ease

RCOS Dashboard appears to search for an RSS tag, assuming HTML, but as I gave it the actual feed, there is none to find. I'd like to be able to link to tag-specific feeds, but I don't want these cluttering visitors RSS toolbar buttons on my website.

Yeah, this is an issue. It also doesn't do a good job when presented with both Atom and RSS links, like Blogspot does.

You can now edit your project to fix the RSS feed. Not perfect, but functional.

Perhaps it's best to just require a direct RSS/Atom link? It wouldn't be too difficult to go through and update everything for this semester, and would avoid both problems.

I don't like requiring a direct link because it needlessly complicates things for users, especially those who aren't clear on the difference between the HTML and the RSS of the same blog.

There's not reason to "go through and update everything" because the direct feed is already stored in the database. :-)
