A Pause To Scold Blogspot
123 words.
On the off chance anyone is reading this from a Blogger or Feedburner RSS feed, you might be wondering about the seemingly random order of posts. For example, this post that I wrote first thing Monday morning would have just shown up in the RSS feed today (Thursday). The reason? Blogspot sucks. Even for a free service, it sucks. The Atom API for publishing posts seems to have a success rate of about 50% these days. And if a post doesn’t publish the first time, I sometimes forget to try to re-publish it until many days later, at which time the news I’m writing about is hopelessly obsolete. (Fyi these posts actually originate on my personal blog, and are then cross-posted to Blogspot.)
