I’m stopping by to explain those little orange buttons on my site. Actually, not really to explain them in depth – that may come later. But to explain why there are two of them.
At the main page of Missionary Blog Watch is one of those little orange buttons. This is the feed for this blog, which you can use in a newsreader. However, there’s also a button on the home page. The feed on our home page is a collected feed of all of my favourite missionary blogs (there are almost 70 now, I think). However, Missionary Blog Watch is not one of those blogs.
In other words, if you want to subscribe to this blog on your newsreader, you must use the RSS feed on this page. If you want to see the latest missionary blogs, you must use the feed on this page. Clear as mud?
Those of you who tuned out because you don’t know what a feed is, please tune back in for a moment. All of you may have noticed that the feed at the bottom of the home page has been rather off again on again. It is on again at the moment, and it will be on again as long as I can keep it on again. I’ll be experimenting with ways to make it better, but all going well things will get better and not worse, and the XML feed will stay the same.
What I’m working on now is a way to get the headlines formatted properly, updated faster, and listed with the title of the missionary’s blog so that you can easily identify your favourite blogs. You should already see an improvement in the updating. So I’ll fight with the technical stuff, and you can just enjoy!
