First, I want to apologize that your w...Dear Mark,<br /><br />First, I want to apologize that your weblog feeds were no longer being<br />pulled to the pghbloggers website. There's an explaination for it<br />which I will outline below:<br /><br />Until about 12:30 last night, pghbloggers was using a very kludged<br />method for converting Atom feeds to RSS feeds, which Drupal (the<br />software that powers pghbloggers, as well as my blog Grabass) can then<br />consume for posting on the website. The website @<br />http://www.cavedoni.com had a homegrown utility (which an Italian<br />fellow was kind enough to develop) that allowed us to get the website<br />up and running quickly.<br /><br />What I became aware of through two independent sources this weekend<br />was the extrodinarily handy service @ feedburners.com. It will<br />automatically allow you to setup, syndicate, and convert feeds in a<br />nice and easy manner. I doubt this is news to you, since you already<br />had a feed setup up for rauterkus.blogspot.com.<br /><br />So late last night, while I was all feeds from cavedoni.com to<br />feedburner.com (which was a time consuming process) I reconfigured<br />your blog to the feedburner feed that you had already set up. I also<br />changed your name which had (mistakenly) been spelled Matt instead of<br />Mark. My apologies there as well... when I set this up the first time<br />it was late at night as well!<br /><br />What I've come to notice just in the last few hours is that Drupal<br />responds favorably to RSS 2.0 feeds and not as well to earlier<br />versions (or whatever the default feedburner puts out). I had to ask<br />Daigo to reconfigure his feed because he was experiencing the same<br />problem. Once he changed it everything was right with the world. If<br />you check now, however, you still are and have been listed on the<br />website: Check these two links:<br /><br />http://pghbloggers.org/aggregator/sources<br />http://pghbloggers.org/aggregator/sources/30<br /><br />I cleared out the cache about a half hour ago, which removed your<br />current listings... and tried to refresh the feed to make sure my<br />diagnosis was correct. That's why there are no articles there now.<br /><br />So if you could please try and change the format of your feed @<br />feedburner to RSS 2.0 I would be most appreciative... otherwise I can<br />continue to use that aforementioned utility.<br /><br />Jen @ muted forwarded your e-mail to her to me, and I've addressed it.<br />I do really hope that you weren't suggesting any foul play in your<br />entry in your blog (I do wish you would have waited in hearing back<br />from me/us before making a post). There definitely wasn't. It's not<br />because I have a thin skin... Lord knows we've had hiccups and will<br />have more later, but because I want to make sure that the perception<br />of the website remains positive in its nacent days. It's a volunteer<br />effort, and I/we are very proud of it.<br /><br />In any case, let me know if there's anything I can do and I will<br />respond ASAP. Best wishes on your upcoming campaign.
