Atom

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Blogger now has the option of publishing in Atom instead of RSS. But, they don’t give you the option to produce both an RSS and an ATOM feed, just one or the other. So, unless they do, or unless someone convinces me that ATOM is that much better than RSS, I won’t be having an ATOM feed on here. Just plain old RSS. 🙂

Update: The old blogger pro accounts let you choose between RSS and ATOM, the free accounts only allow ATOM feeds. I tried to create a feed for Angela’s blog but since it’s an ATOM feed, and my current aggregator doesn’t do ATOM yet, I have no idea if it actually works or not! Can anyone verify for me, and save me the trouble of downloading and installing a whole new app just to see if her feed works!
