A quick RSS apology

John Rea-Hedrick Comments off

For anyone currently following my blog (although it’s looking pretty lonely out there), a quick apology for the recent BlogEngine.net posts which appeared AFTER my happy post about switching to WordPress.  No, I have not switched blogware again.

After switching to a UNIX platform so I could make the move to WordPress, I realized I didn’t have draft copies of my initial BlogEngine posts.  For consistency, and since they were the only two posts left behind, I decided to repost them.  Thanks to Google search cache I not only found the text, but the publication date/time. (Yay!)

So This morning when I checked Google Reader (yes, I subscribe to my own blog posts as any narcissistic, new blogger in the honeymoon of ‘Look at me! I’m blogging!’, may) I saw these two posts from September appear from yesterday. {sigh}

Lesson learned, RSS is from real-time updates.  It doesn’t care if you said something was older than it is by back dating it.  Rookie mistake.

Next time I’ll put a parenthetical (reposted from . . . ) as the first line.

Okay, back to my day job!
