Sponsors Fucking you with RSS Feeds

Jace · 03-28-2007

the issue is 3 fold

1. sponsors are idiots when providing rss feeds, they don't run blogs themselves and don't know what the fuck they are doing, so they don't know to include thwe affiliate id in the "source" link in the feed itself

2. feedwordpress is great and all, but has it's flaws, and when it adds that contributor link, it does it no matter what, I think that is shitty, we should have a choice whether that is added in or not

3. bloggers need to have FULL control over their blogs, that means breaking apart the blogroll into seperate sections and removing that contributors list....if you want that link to the site in there, add it yourself, don't let software do it for you....i have ALWAYS broken up my blogroll and never grouped everything together, which is the way wordpress does it by default

that tag, learn it, live it, love it.....the # in there is the links category ID....put that in your blogroll and it will ONLY show the links from the category you have designated
