Switching to Atom

Atom

I just like Atom better. One single namespace (plus GeoRSS makes two), and distinction between full and partial content won me over. Hopefully I can pull this off without flooding Planet Geospatial. All my timestamps are OK, so if anything goes wrong I blame James and Mark Pilgrim's FeedParser. I've switched Pleiades over to Atom as well (example: bridges), and contributed a patch to OpenLayers that enables mapping of Atom feeds.

Update: the old RSS feeds are going away forever. Switch over (entries, comments) if you want to keep following this blog.

Update: I did everything right and still flooded PlanetGS. Makes me much more forgiving of the folks upgrading their Blogger accounts.

Update: I added the missing rel="self" and rel="alternate" attributes to feed and entry links.

Would it be possible to put more of your posts in the feed, or atleast show the hyperlinks?

Entry links are coming through loud and clear on my readers (NewsFire and Thunderbird). Or at least I thought they are. I've added the missing rel="self" and rel="alternate" attributes to feed and entry links.
