New Feeds for This Blog, and Eliminating Chicklet Overload
Since moving this blog my very own domain – http://nontrivialexercises.com/ – I have also set-up a new feed. While I’m still using Typepad to host my blog, I want to customize my feed and platform-proof it, so that if I change blogging platforms the feed can remain.
So, the new feed is below – please update accordingly:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/nontrivialexercises
Also, you may have noticed this little orange icon in websites or blogs recently. It is a new standard icon to represent syndicated content / feeds on a site. The idea is that we can agree on one look and feel for a feed icon, and eliminate all the various chicklets and associated “chicklet overload” for different feed readers. For example, here are some of the chicklets that I could show to subscribe to this blog:
Overload. You really don’t need them anyway, as they all grab the same feed and just stuff it into the appropriate feed reader / aggregator.
Feedburner makes it easy to use the standard feed icon – they have a pre-created button you can use. You may have noticed that I have put the new feed icon in my Subscribe section on the right column a couple of weeks ago, but I have kept some of the other chicklets. Well, I’m taking them off today and just keeping the standard icon. I encourage you to do the same and help eliminate chicklet overload!
