Feed problems and on moving to WordPress
At least I hope they are fixed. For the past two weeks an error has appeared at the bottom of all the Primordial Ooze Blog pages, below the footer. Unfortunately, the error was also reported in the RSS (at the end), which invalidated the XML structure and caused some feed aggregators to choke… such as IE and Feed Demon.
At this point, I’m pretty sure that I am gooing to make the switch to WordPress by the end of the year. WordPress has seen amazing growth in the past few years. There are tons of themes, tons of plugins, and a very active community.
Plus, my web host supports WordPress and allows me to one-click upgrade to new versions. That’s a big deal as my current process is manual and error prone.
The likely plan will be to leave http://primordia.com/blog alone. The new blog will likely be at http://primordia.com/ooze (not active yet). I’ll make a final “we’re moving post” and then redirect FeedBurner to the new RSS feed. This should mean that everyone currently subscribed will not notice anything and they’ll continue to simply get new articles without any modification to their aggregators. Ah, blessed FeedBurner.
