At a reader’s request, I went back to Blogger’s configuration and reset my XML feed to provide full content rather than headlines only. I can’t figure out why I hadn’t had it set up that way from the beginning. If you find it elegant or efficient to read your content via XML, here’s the Follow Me Here RSS feed.

I’m very happy with Amphetadesk under Windows as an XML reader, BTW. If you use AmphetaDesk, you can simply click here to subscribe to FmH in XML. I’m also playing with Feedreader, also free, which has a slightly more cumbersome interface but, unlike Amphetadesk, doesn’t choke on an il-fomed feed, it just skips the individual item with the error. For example, there’s something wrong with the XML version of one of the FmH posts today.

Although I’ve explored this before in some detail, here’s a Guardian article on RSS newsreaders that introduces the scene.

BTW, if you go to any FmH archive pages, you’ll find that some of the image links are broken. That’s because I just finished converting all my .GIFs to .PNGs, both because they load abit faster and because they avoid the contention about whether the .GIF format is proprietary. The archive pages still link to the now nonexistent .GIF images. Forgive me for not correcting this on each and every page. [If I were to wipe out all my archive files and then told Blogger to rearchive, would it use the new version of the template, I wonder?] Addendum: Yes; republished and fixed now.
