New feature: Latest blog post

[David Baxter PhD]

It appears that the "Latest blog" feature was a casualty of the forum software upgrade yesterday.

I will investigate and fix this.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Fixed.

Actually, I used a different method from last time. I think this one may work a little more efficiently.

I've been trying to get this to work again and am not having any luck.

Wow. I think I figured it out.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Janet, the add-on I'm using doesn't handle Atom feeds (the default for Blogger-Blogspot) very well. And the only other alternative so far has other issues that mess up the forum software.

Your best bet is to go to Feedburner, set up an account there for your Blogger-Blogspot site, and then use the Feedburner feed link (URL) to enter into the appropriate box in your Psychlinks User CP.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Wow. I think I figured it out.

How did you do that?

If it stops working, see my reply above about Feedburner.

 

[Cat Dancer]

So it's not supposed to be working? LOL.

 

[Into The Light]

now you have something to bribe dr. b. with should you want anything from him :bad:

 

[Cat Dancer]

It may not be working after all. It's not updating with my latest post. Hmm. :crazy:

 

[Into The Light]

shhh, don't tell him that. you can still bribe him if he doesn't know

 

[David Baxter PhD]

So it's not supposed to be working? LOL.

No. It's more that it works erratically with Atom feeds.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

It may not be working after all. It's not updating with my latest post. Hmm. :crazy:

Yes. That's what I mean. It's unreliable. Go set up a Feedburner account.

 

[Cat Dancer]

I will try.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Just holler if you need help.

 

[Cat Dancer]

Wow. I think it worked. :crazy:

 

[David Baxter PhD]

What did? Feedburner?

 

[Cat Dancer]

Yeah, can you see it?

 

[David Baxter PhD]

I can see that it updated. Is that the Feedburner feed or did you just get lucky?

 

[Cat Dancer]

It's feedburner. Thanks.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Excellent. Good work.

 

[Cat Dancer]

It really is working!!! It's updating itself like it's supposed to.
It's nice when something computer related works right for me. LOL.
