Continuing to do some spring cleaning. Sometimes I just enjoy moving stuff around.
First, Pajamas Media. Nothing has changed here, but some people wonder if they can get into the program. I got in touch with a member of the board, and he tells me that they are swamped with requests, but none are being added right now. There is a plan for an expansion, but no time has been set.
Syndication: I haven't checked my feeds in ages. I looked and noticed that one feed in particular was the overwhelming favourite. So I've removed the links to the other feeds (but don't worry, those feeds will be maintained) and put in the Feedburner FeedCount chicklet instead, associated with that overwhelming favourite feed. That feed has been upgraded as well. It is now a "smart feed", meaning that it will work with all sorts of different formats (RSS, Atom, etc). Also, if the feed is displayed in a browser, you will see a rather nice browser-friendly view.
I've also enabled del.icio.us tagging, emailing of posts, and Technorati cosmos links in the feed. Oh, and the copyright license to remind people that attributing quotes and providing links is just good sense.
Note that extended posts are not displayed, but the excerpts from the last 15 posts. Nothing is different here. I will be more dilligent in writing excerpts. To read the full post from the feed, you still need to click on the link and go to the site itself. My posts tend to be long, so I think this makes sense.
