After over a year of having the News Items and Article feeds separate, today they unite forever into one blended feed. All feeds now redirect to http://www.dannychoo.com/rss/eng/ If you are subscribed now, you don't need to do anything on your side. If you were subscribed to both then just delete one of the feeds or you will get a double dose. I've also made many changes to the items in the feed - mainly userbility tweaks. Lemme know if you spot any problems. I validated the feed at the W3C Validation Service and it seems valid apart from one minor atom error. The Articles and News Items are stored in different databases and the structure is very different so I'm using PHP Simple Pie to merge the feeds which seems to work well. Articles will remain to be for the most part original content containing photos that I take at events, of figures and around Japan. Folks who read the feed will see News Items as a thumbnail while Articles will be the full text. Folks who want to see the full image of the News Item need to click through to the site. Many people who were subscribed to the Article feed may not know about news items - News Items are usually updates around the otakusphere which include figure releases, anime, eroge news and photos that I take around Japan. Some of the News Items may be ecchi and if they are then the thumbnail in the feed will be replaced with a default "Is Ecchi" thumbnail meaning that you should wait until you get home to enjoy. News Items are usually updated a few times per day while the Articles that have more beef are updated at most once a day. If you are a Featured Feed partner and have trouble with the new feed, try the direct feedburner feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/dannychoo_com_main_article_feed_eng Gordonator and others seem to be displaying the feed just fine.

Nice! All working flawlessly. No changes here since I was using RSS feeds mainly as a warning sign new posts were made on DC. What I mean is, I never read stuff from RSS feeds only... I always opened all articles before reading them, since I almost always make a comment. Anyways, deleted the news feed and kept the main one. o/

Yes, that was also my routine. I never actually reads from my rss feeds application cause I usually make comments. That only work as my "alarm clock". XDD

Posting the warning on Puchi Blub here too so Danny sees it... DC.com feeds on my blog went down. Warning says: "An error has ocurred. It's possible the feed is currently offline. Try again later." My blog is hosted on Wordpress.com even though I have my own domain. And I'm using the main DC.com feed... just checked on the widgets: http://www.dannychoo.com/rss/eng/ set to show 5 items at a time. Since Acesan also said he has the same problem, and he also has a Wordpress blog, something on the blending operation might have affected it...

Danny? Back from sleep now, feed still not working. I took char's advice and changed the URL to feedburner... and it's working fine now. But I think there's still something on the original URL that Wordpress doesn't like...

i was still having this problem, switched back and forth between the feedburner one, only the feedburner one was working.
(ID #342958) Posted on 2008/10/23 02:59
I do the same. And it's much better to read from the site than the feeds (which are much smaller).
(ID #342777) Posted on 2008/10/22 22:00
Finally the feed problems are solved. It's much convenient now.
(ID #342729) Posted on 2008/10/22 20:24
well, never had a thing for feeds, prefer to manually check out the sites i follow. sounds cool though! hurhur

Google Reader is a life saver when you run out of fingers to count how many blogs you check everyday... XD
(ID #342735) Posted on 2008/10/22 20:43
Or when you have some sites that rarely update so it's boring to check it everyday but you would like to know about an update as soon as posible.

that explains why the number of feeds suddenly jumped ^^. good idea. hmm... seems like i should change my habits of reading feeds once they pop up (now that you ...and... akihabara news will be *bugging* me like every hour or so. haha). i'm impatient and it's too convenient that mine is in safari... i don't like the numbers next to the feeds. >< Maybe i should practice patience and wait till it accumulates to 10 or more before reading it. ^^
(ID #342740) Posted on 2008/10/22 20:49
Nice, blended feed for both the news and articles is great, now I have less navigation to do on Google Reader:)

Haha well I'm okay with it since whenever I see a new post on my RSS feed on my site I go straight here.
(ID #342839) Posted on 2008/10/22 23:26
Considering how the user uses the feed some ppl would like the integrated feed, some ppl will miss the separated feeds. IMO, I put priority to read the articles and once in a while I read the news

it's been a while since we haven't see both of you at the same time. that's remind me the video you two did on Akiba, you promise to make some more and .... never had a Number 2 ^^ Dany : does "the green pig from out of space" love your figures ?

Hmm, had problems with the feed earlier this week but I changed over and it started working again. Haven't checked the old link for a while but I did find it odd that it suddenly stopped working. and reading the news articles on google reader is rather convenient, esp on my iPhone. Shame that I can't post comments with it tho(actually I can but run the very high risk of the app crashing)
(ID #343058) Posted on 2008/10/23 04:56
nice, ah ideas so hard to focus on my mind, so no blog yet lol
(ID #343165) Posted on 2008/10/23 08:05
The merge is definitely helpful for me. I have the RSS feed as a bookmark in my Firefox bookmarks bar - pretty nifty since it gives a dropdown menu with the articles and news items as separate links.
(ID #343323) Posted on 2008/10/23 11:20
Well the good thing is that it speeds up on my browser loading time...will explore more...

Awesome... I was wondering why your feed was down on my blog the past few days and it look me digging around for new links to fix it xD. All is working now. I'm liking the integration so I can see everything all at once ^_^
