                  Something else I might need to code around

For those that read the LiveJournal feed [1] of this site, I apollogize for
sending a flood of entries your way.

It's something I have to remember—that the <title> element of the RSS feed
(Really Simply Syndication) [2] cannot contain named HTML (HyperText Markup
Language) entities since RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is messed up that
way. I need to use the numeric versions.

What happened is this—I titled an October 7^th entry [3] “A Møøse once bit my
sister …” and used &oslash;&oslash; in the title. The LiveJournal [4] RSS
parser rejected the feed because of that. And because of that, my entries
since the 7^th haven't been showing up.

I just became aware of the situation and fixed the title (by replacing
&oslash;&oslash; with &#248;&#248;) which means a sudden influx of twelve (or
thirteen if this gets in with the current batch) entries.

Sorry about that.
