Initially, some people asked me about an RSS feed to my blog; I thought I had turned on the setting, but they said it didn't work. Under the 'Site Feed' tab, I have set "Publish Site Feed" to "Yes", and the "Site Feed URL" is http://bats22.blogspot.com/atom.xml

Reading today's New York Times might shed some light on this, for those of you who care, in this article:

Most blogging services offer similar ways to set up R.S.S. In TypePad, for example, navigate to Edit Configuration, click on Publicity & Syndication.

...

TypePad, Blogger and several other blogging services also offer a blog-specific syndication format called Atom. Setting it up on your site is similar to setting up R.S.S. feeds.


Not quite sure what that means; hope it helps anyone who is interested.

Atom is kind of a new-fangled format that does RSS plus a bunch of other stuff I have no idea about. Some other news readers don't do Atom. There are Atom->RSS proxies freely available, though.

Yeah, what Rawhide said. I've subscribed just fine to your atom-feed using NetNewsWire, FWIW.

Okay, campers, you're all officially geeks--this thread is a tie with the Valentine's Day post for greatest number of comments. ;)
