Blogging

Is It On?

As I posted previously, since I’ve been reworking Bradsblog, I managed to screw up my feed.

I think I might have fixed it, by deactivating my Podpress Plugin. I need to do some more testing, but I think it’s working now and I can focus my valuable time and energy on other things, like actually putting together a meaningful post!

Have you noticed, the background is a bit different now? I’ve been doing some tweaking with the graphics. I like the change, there are a few other things I am pondering. Keep an eye out to see if you notice anything else!

What do you think of the changes?

Why Call Them Podcasts?

I was reading a comment on Nektros.com where Chris from purplepig.net said:

“So why do they call them Podcasts? I know its all related to iPod’s but nowadays iPod’s have nothing to do with them”

This brings up a interesting point.I have recrded a coupe of podcasts now, and I listen to a few also. However, I do not listen to blog podcasts on my iPod. When I come across a podcast, I want to hear it right now. The only podcast I listen to on my iPod is Dave Ramsey.

Come to think of it, I don’t know of anybody who listens to blog podcasts on their iPod!

Maybe they should call them something else, like blogcast!

I’m Having Feed Issues

I noticed it the other day, as I was browsing around Digital Point Forums. Normally, right near my avatar is the title of my latest blog post. It wasn’t working.

Then, I went to my Firefox live bookmarks for my blog, it wasn’t working either.

I started looking into the issue, and I think my problem has something to do with my audio player that shows in my podcast posts. I think there is an issue with running javascript within a post.

I’ll continue to look into this, and if anyone else is using this plugin and knows of a quick fix, please let me know!
