                                    Oops.

I must apologize to all that read my site via RSS (Really Simple
Syndication), especially to those that read the LiveJournal feed [1] (for
essentially spamming your frends list) last night.

I upgraded mod_blog [2] last night—a huge update. Months ago, I did a near
complete rewrite, but was relunctant to put it into production despite
testing and using the software on a few other blogs (that aren't mine—they're
someone elses). But a few days ago I got an idea for a new feature for my
blog, and of course I'm going to want to work with the latest codebase of
mod_blog, so …

Only … well … I forgot I made some changes to the RSS templates processing in
the program, but forgot to upgrade the actual RSS templates used by my blog.
There was also a bug in generating the permanent links (I got a bit
overzealous with the formatting), and those two issues caused LiveJournal [3]
to have a fit with my feed for a few hours.

It's been ironed out (well, there is still an issue where I have to manually
nudge the program whenever I make a new entry) and the RSS feed is working
properly now.

Again, I'm sorry.
