Newsletter: test with RSS feed from website blog #219

Open agjohnson opened 1 year ago

agjohnson commented 1 year ago

I recently updated our blog index and post pages and think they are pretty ready to go in terms of starting to author some content or at least play with the blog more.

The last remaining piece that ties us to the old blog, besides historical content, is our newsletter uses the current blog RSS feed to generate the newsletter.

I did hopefully tune the RSS/Atom feeds correctly, providing a single post in the feed. This is how our current blog is structured, to make the newsletter service more consistent. The next step is to do a test perhaps -- hopefully testing this is possible in some way.

After that, we can start to author some content here, and decide what/if we are backporting.

cc @ericholscher as you probably are the only one with a good amount of experience with the newsletter service configuration. Not a big priority either way though, so I won't roadmap this just yet.

We can definitely swap out the RSS feed on the email list. I think we just need to pick a cutover date/post and move forward with it 👍

Aye, I haven't tested either together much, so it could be very broken still. Hopefully we have a way of doing a dry run. But the feed should in theory only be showing a single item at least.
