Healthy Blog 2007

For 2007, I'm trying to improve my own health as well as the health of my blog. To that end, I have been wrestling with my feed to try to slim it down. After several programming frustrations, getting into the intricacies of xml that I never wanted to know, I think I've fixed it. If you've noticed the feed not working right for you (especially if you use Bloglines) for the past couple of days, I think it should be okay now. I am putting my feed on a diet, narrowing it down to just the Feedburner feed and taking away the atom and rss options for new subscribers. Don't worry, the Feedburner SmartFeed will work with any feed reader or application you want to throw at it. If you are already subscribed to this blog via an atom or rss feed, I would love it if you would upgrade your subscription by just clicking on the orange

feed icon here or in the right sidebar, or if you use Firefox you can click on the orange feed image in the URL box of your browser. This will give you some added features at the bottom of each post, and will help me keep track of how many subscribers I have (because I love each and every one of you). It only takes a second (okay, maybe three). If you are not yet a subscriber and don't want to have to bookmark and manually check for new posts, I encourage you to subscribe to the feed. If you're wondering what the heck I'm talking about with all this feed stuff (especially after talking about putting the blog on a diet), here's a great introduction to how it works and some recommendations for feed readers you can use (and don't worry, even though the article talks about RSS, it also applies to Feedburner's feed as well). Enough housekeeping.
