Getting spoiled by RSS
So I was browsing technorati and came across an interesting weblog that's blogrolled IDblog: the invisible rabbit. Cool name, cool webog. Alas, it is powered by blogger. I almost titled this post "blog snobbery" for there is a bit of snootiness that can be associated with which blog software you use, but here's my real issue. If a weblog doesn't have an RSS feed, it's kinda like, "hey, that's great...see ya in a year." Alas, poor blogger folks. It is just fab that they have access to a free tool. I started IDblog on blogger. But it sucks that an RSS feed is (apparently) only accessible via the for-fee blogger pro interface. I say apparently because if you go check out blogger pro, you get: Ouch! Blogger Pro ordering is currently offline while we retool. Is it just me, or would you have figured that the folks at Google would have thought of a way to let folks sign up while they retool? Good thing for them that Ben and Mena still have TypePad in limited beta!

Oy vey! You don't know how badly I want to shift to movable type or dupal. I'm going on vacation in a day or two and when I get back I suspect I'll do some serious looking into getting MT set up on one of my servers. Thanks for the compliment about the site itself though. :) Daniel Harvey ...oh, and one more thing, the ordering for Blogger Pro has been down longer than a week iirc. I can't imagine how many potential customers they lost. In addition to getting spoiled by RSS feeds I'm certain the functionality is more robust with MT and the interface is less clunky. -- Posted by Daniel Harvey on July 9, 2003 01:54 AM
