How to defeat a RSS reader
by Leion on Nov.04, 2006, under Howtos, Technology, Web
RSS is really a good thing.
I used it for reading my friends’ blogs off a single site. Recently I found out that one of a friend’s blog do not seem to be updated on my RSS reader. I surf to his blog and realise what happened.
He had put an entry that is dated in the future. This means that this entry will always be the first entry in his blog. Not a problem actually. Just that my google reader no longer works. All his new entries are no longer picked up. I suspect this is because the reader only matches the first entry in the RSS feed to determine if there are any new entries.
While I have not tried using other RSS readers, I think the same results will be reproduced. So it is back to normal blog hoping to get all the information now. At least before google reader change the way it loads new lists…

Problem with RSS Feed in WordPress.
I have a subdomain that I installed wordpress for another blog site, but the subdomain site's rss feed points to my parent site.
Can anyone come up with any suggestions?
