RSS Feed Changes

24 Jan 2025 | ~2 minute read

You've probably seen a load of unread RSS items from my feed, sorry about that. Here's why...

I've made a couple of changes to the way that RSS works on this site. It's all very minor, but I thought it was worth mentioning since you've probably seen a load of "new" items if you subscribe to my RSS feed.

Combining notes and posts

I write both posts and notes on this site. Over time, it's become pretty much the only place I post online - both my posts and notes are syndicated to Mastodon and Bluesky automatically, but this is the source.

Anyway, I decided to roll my notes into the main RSS feed. So you will now see both notes and posts in there. Notes are depicted by a note emoji (📝) followed by the date and time the note was published.

Normal posts are the way they've always been. It's just the post's title.

But Kev, I don't want to see your stupid bloody notes in my feed!

Don't worry, dear reader, I have you covered. I have a number of feeds that I publish for different types of content on this site:

• Posts & Notes (this is the main feed)
• Posts Only Feed
• Notes Only Feed
• My Watch Log Feed (you can check out my watch log here)

So if you want to get the old feed back, that's just posts, unsubscribe form the main feed and subscribe to the new Posts Only feed.

Again, sorry for dumping a load of "new" content into your RSS reader. Hope you understand though. ❤️
