Maintenance Notes
Well I figured out the issue that we’re ‘having’ with our feed links not working. It turns out that we’re not so much having an issue as FeedSmith is. Apparently, FeedSmith uses “some WordPress plugin magic, and user-agent detection [to] simply forward all your feed traffic to FeedBurner” (emphasis added). Well, that’s awesome (truly, I’ve been really happy with the plugin so far), unless a new user agent comes onto the scene that FeedSmith doesn’t know about. /wave Google Chrome.
At least, that’s my latest theory.
You see I noticed that the feed links weren’t working while using Google Chrome at work. Naturally, I assumed that this would mean that all browsers had broken. It was only when I found the aforelinkedto page that I had the thought to try them in a different browser (“duh!”) and lo-and-behold they work beautifully. I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this yet but I’m going to try to roll my own fix for the fun of it.
Whee!
