Blogware Subscriptions

Its always bothered me that clicking on a "Syndicate" link takes a user
to a screen full of gibberish. While not perfect, I've always liked the
notion of making a subscription page available that provides potential
aggregators with a list of all feeds available and a link to them. I
liked it enough that we jacked the idea and implemented it in the
default template set for Blogware. The "uglyXML" option is still
available from the Layout Manager so Blogware publishers can choose how
they present their available feeds to their users.
Its not perfect - yet, so I'd appreciate hearing feedback how we can improve this particular piece - particularly from a UI perspective... Posted to: Random Bytes

Did Joey share my wishlist with you. Re: Re: Blogware Subscriptions

Is this the list you cc'ed me via mail? If yes, then many of the items you are looking for are already supported. I'd chatted with Joey and asked him to go over things with you to make sure that we were all on the same page. I have a habit of assuming that I know what other people are saying (when in fact they are saying something quite different ;) Re: Re: Re: Blogware Subscriptions

Which begs the question: Where's the syndicate link on www.byte.org? Or am I just blind? I went looking for it to see what changed, and doggone it, I can't find it. Re: Re: Blogware Subscriptions

I replaced it with the "Subscribe" link at the top left of the page... Re: Re: Re: Blogware Subscriptions

Ahh. See now, there's an example where breaking with established convention just confused the heck out of one of the cognoscenti. Re: Re: Re: Re: Blogware Subscriptions

Joey is writing up the specific instructions, but all you really need to do is drop the "Email Notifications" component where you want it in the layout manager. I need to get Tom to change the name of this to "Subscriptions" so that users don't get confused ;) Trackbacks
