Spring Cleaning May 9 2008 | Be First to Comment!

So I’m just about done with classes for the semester and then I’ll have a few weeks off. I’m looking forward to being able to catch up on things I’ve been neglecting.

This is because Feedburner caches your feeds and updates the cache every 30 minutes. There are ways to make this go quicker. After upgrading your plugin to version 1.1.2 here is what to do:

Sorry Feed Readers Apr 11 2008 | Be First to Comment!

Just a quick note to my RSS subscribers: you may notice a large number of new posts in your feed. They are actually old posts. I just increased the number of posts that WordPress sends to the RSS feed so that new subscribers can get as many as 50 old posts. So sorry if I’ve flooded your reader today!
