After futzing about with standards, formats, and all that jazz, I’ve settled on just using the built-in RSS 2.0 feed that comes from WordPress.
XML/RSS Madness
I’ve noticed that due to the strange changes to my feed, some of the previous articles prior to Blogger going down on me have a very, very strange date. It appears in the XML file as 1969; my newsreader Thunderbird shows the date as 2106, though. Weird!
