Welcome to the blog of a philanthropist, astrologer, japanophile, webdesigner, proud ICT generalist and student aiming for a masters degree in work and organisation / occupational health psychology. Discover my world, some of the things that keep me entertained, how our minds work and how our minds are put to work.
It’s doubling, tripling almost everything! *__*. It didn’t do that before … right? Perhaps it’s because I edited the post?
Well let’s see what happens with this one.
Edit: aha! I enabled the Feedburner option in Tumblr. For once it was not my own crappy programming. Hurray!
Since SnowMyth went on me I went geek. I just couldn’t stop until I found a solution. I’m still thinking about whether I would *want* to implement it, but in this case it might be interesting. The plaintiff (XD) uses iGoogle to read my blog and often clicks the header link to go to my page. However, once you use Yahoo Pipes the original feed address is changed accordingly, which results in the header link now taking her to Yahoo Pipes instead. Golly, I thought people only clicked articles. lol.
So what did I find out?
Feedburner offers a Title/Description change option, but it doesn’t allow overwriting the XML link tag. I knew about an RSS Aggregator called SimplePie. I used it to blast protected entries in the public domain in the past (you did not read that). SimplePie is not a tool for creating RSS, but there are people that have found ways to do it anyways. The script I found that works can be found here.
