I switched the feed for the site from Atom 1.0 back to RSS 2.0 because of a few issues people were having:
- You have to be running the latest version of NNW for Atom 1.0 support. Seemingly, older versions just don't show the feed at all. This caused a bit of a problem since most of my feed subscribers use NNW and not all use the absolute latest version.
- 9rules' site is only capable of parsing RSS 2.0, not Atom (yet).
- It was easy to switch (RoR is great!) so I just went ahead and did it.
Later on I'll push Atom 1.0 support back out but for now this is safer.
Oh, and before I forget—I've gotten a few complaints about the message IE readers receive at the top of every page. I just want to apologize to any of you who get the message when you're on a public or work computer that you can't install a better browser on (there are only two of you who have complained about this), but it's a necessary evil to have the message there. IE must die.
On a related note, two people complained about some issues with this site in Opera and I just want to say, politely, that I don't care. Opera is totally and completely useless as far as I'm concerned and while I value you as a person getting to make up your mind as to what you do and such, I disagree with your choice and hope one day you see the light. I mean, a browser with ads? Ridiculous. Wait, a browser with ads that renders pages differently than the other major standards-compliant browsers? Oh, goodie! Where can I sign up and, until about a month ago, pay money for it? Yuck. Double yuck. I understand that it doesn't have ads anymore and it's free now, but that doesn't make it good. Seriously, it doesn't.
It's not that I hate browsers other than Firefox/Camino and Safari/Omniweb, it's just that I hate browsers that don't render things correctly and require tweaking and patches and crap like that.
