The latest article, “The 10 Best Web Management Tools for Small Businesses in 2020” appears to be an update to the 2017 article “The 7 Best Web Management Tools for Small Businesses in 2017”

The issue here is the way Dreamhost chose to do this.

Both articles share a common <guid> which is meant to uniquely identify articles. RSS readers use this to determine if they already have a copy of the article or not. Feedbin already has the 2017 article so this new one appears to be a duplicate.

Thanks for solving this. Hadn’t spotted the duplicate guid. A dilemma to know what to do if an article gets updated with a new pubDate. Re-show it to the user or ignore it?
