I like Atom, but RSS 2.0 is still king. :P

This reminds me of Beta vs VHS in the ’80s. Seems like Atom is losing ground and RSS is here to stay…

I have a problem with Firefox.

I use Textpattern to manage my site, and really didn’t used to pay any attention to Atom/RSS, since it is already automated. However, all this buzz around Feedburner has got me wondering – does anyone know of any Textpattern plugins for Feedburner?
you don’t really need a plug-in for it. You sign up for feedburner, point it to your feed(s) you currently have running, then change the links on your site to point to your feedburner feed link. Simple process takes about a minute to setup.

I haven’t heard of any TXP plugins for Feedburner. The feeds in Textpattern aren’t in the greatest shape at the moment, either. But, you can easily use the rule Dan just put forward, and make it link to your Feedburner feed. Just make sure that in Feedburner you use your yoursite.com/?rss=1&section=blah URI.

Erik: Really? I have restarted Firefox numerous times since then. Before, the feed I linked to was [http://www.simplebits.com/xml/atom.xml]. When I go to that LiveBookmark and right mouse click and go to Properties, it still says http://www.simplebits.com/xml/atom.xml and not rss.xml…

R6May89, I also use Firefox's rss feeder, and it seemed to update Simplebits fine. Although I have noticed that sometimes it takes a restart to properly update them.

I agree with your decision. I did the same thing on my site. It helps reduce all the unnecessary copies of basically the same content.
