Feeds

When the blog is generated, lazyblorg also creates several Atom feeds.

By using this kind of technology, you get notified on new blog entries in contrast to «you have to re-visit the page and look for updates». Therefore, it scales much better when you follow dozens of news sources.

Feel free to read my (German) blog article explaining RSS/Atom feeds.

If you have not settled for a feed tool yet, try Feedly which seems to be an easy to use web-based solution which works with all of the lazyblorg feeds.

In case you wonder, my personal solution is also described but somewhat more complicated because of my personal setup requirements.

Currently, there are three different main feeds:

1. The first one features only the title and a link to my blog article
   • example for http://Karl-Voit.at «links only feed»
   • In case a feed aggregator has some issues with the other two feeds, use this one instead.
2. The second one features the title and a short teaser text
   • example for http://Karl-Voit.at «artile teaser feed»
3. The last one contains the whole content
   • example for http://Karl-Voit.at «full content feed»

Note: Because of my personal inability to come up with one hundred percent valid feed data, content like embedded Amazon or Twitter snippets may cause some technical issues with certain picky feed solutions such as elfeed. In case of such an issue, your feed might stop working (no new updates) or show some validation error instead.

TBD for lazyblorg: feeds for auto-tags such as article language or text size. Stay tuned!
