3rd July, 2009: Same Blog, Different Location...

See... I promised two posts in the one day, and now I'm delivering. Though not on the promised topic...

It's been pointed out to me, very politely, as a follow up to my earlier post on accessibility, that one of the downsides of a Goodreads blog (and don't get me wrong, I'm loving Goodreads...) is that people who aren't members can't post comments. (I do realise that this raises the question of why anyone wouldn't want to be a member of Goodreads, but that's a whole other discussion...)

So, in the interests of addressing this issue, I've set up a mirror site over at blogspot where I'll post my blogs. I'll post them here too, though, for those who prefer.

And on that note, I'm going on leave for a week.

Bye.

rivka FYI, if you prefer, you can blog there and have the RSS feed from there auto-import here. It would result in funneling most comments over there though. (So I'm against it, personally. :wink: )

Very simple answer. I haven't gotten to them yet. evil plotting

That sounds like just what I had in mind. There's only one minor problem, and it's to do with that paragraph in my previous post about not being good at these sort of things... I'll keep messing with it, though until I manage to fluke it. Or I'll wait for Min to get up and ask her.

Cheers

rivka I tried, but it doesn't like the link that I think is the Atom feed from Blogspot. (To access it, you need to go to your edit blog page, and there's a spot for an external blog feed.) If Imogen has trouble, just email in to support AT goodreads DOT com, and someone (not me, clearly!) will set it up for you.

Anthony Eaton Found it. I tried both the RSS and Atom addresses as provided by Blogger, but got a 'page unavailable - please try again later' message both times. I'll have another go this afternoon, and then email the help people.

Didn't need to ask Min, either :)

Thanks for your help, though, Rivka.
