RSS feed nitpick

January 14, 2011 11:37 AM

I recently added the sideblog RSS feed to my Google Reader page. The title always shows up as undefined. If you were not aware I wanted to point it out. If you were aware but didn't care, I'm fine with that.

Yeah, we don't title those sideblog posts. I guess we could add the first few words of the text as the title. Or maybe the date. Anyone have a preference?

Date and time would be nice.

The password of the poster.

No?

Why not make it the same little bit of text that links to the post?

date + sideblog maybe? We could add a title field that showed up in the RSS feed and not the actual sideblog if people want.

We just added the ability to add titles to sideblog posts so those will start showing up in the feed as we add new posts.
