Blogger is now promoting Feedburner as a way to generate RSS feeds for Blogger sites. The actual RSS section of its feed creation page is buried a ways down in the format selections, which appear designed to meet a lot of other purposes.

Here's a test of the two RSS feeds it creates, both based on the Atom feed, which doesn't put full contents into the feed, one of the common attributes of RSS 2.0 feeds from weblogs like Scripting News and Other Journalism.
Atom: atom
RSS 2.0:
RSS 1.0 (RDF)

Phil Ringnalda launched a healthy discussion thread with this catchy headline: phil ringnalda dot com: Holy Crap! That's Blogger?: "Holy Crap! That's Blogger?"

New look for Blogger, new way to put things here
I'm posting this with a "blog this!" plugin for FireFox, and just discovered that if I select a sentence in the page I'm viewing before I choose the "blog this" right-mouse-button menu item, the highlighted text -- not the page name -- becomes the anchor for the bloglink... Example, concerning Blogger's new look: Blogger Knowledge: "The best and brightest web designers around created twenty six new templates for you to choose from; bringing the total up to thirty three Blogger template designs."

I'm curious about combining a program like Qualrus: Idea Works, Inc. with video and audio recording, text notes and PC screen capture or PC monitoring software, such as SpyAgent or Wiretap Professional to create a record of personal interaction with a computer.

Two content management systems to look at: drupal.org | community plumbing and the latest version of Plone. I'm also trying a new "Blog This!" plugin for Mozilla Firefox.

The Official Commonwealth of Virginia Home Page took me by surprise when I was looking for RSS feeds. Maybe there's a secret plan to change the state license plate slogan to "Virginia is for LoveRSS?"

Feeding Frenzy? I just discovered that this neglected Blogger site of mine generates both RSS and Atom feeds, but for some reason the last couple of posts didn't show up in the Atom version. This is a test (obviously).

It could be that publishing the previous update with NewsMonster generated the XML feed, while making this one directly in Blogger revived the Atom feed.
