Migrated to Wordpress

The blog is now in Wordpress. Yeah, I’m using a boring default style. With a few tweaks. When I feel like it I’ll prettify it more or change styles.

    I was pulling your old feed from http://philwelch.net/atom.xml

    When you get settled down, you might want to do a redirect to your new feed.

    I think I did that in .htaccess. It works for me at least.

    (just in case you don’t know already…)
    in your .htaccess add the line:

    Redirect 307 /atom.xml http://philwelch.net/wp-atom.php

    When you get settled, perhaps consider changing the 307 to a 301.

    I’m getting:

    #curl -I http://philwelch.net/atom.xml
    HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
    Date: Sun, 06 Apr 2008 03:36:05 GMT
    Server: Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.28 OpenSSL/0.9.7a PHP-CGI/0.1b
    Location: http://www.philwelch.net/feed/
    Connection: close
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

    The issue might be that you are directing a atom feed to a RSS feed, and my aggrator does not like that. Your redirect does seem to be working. My code should redirect to WordPress’ default Atom feed.

    OK, done. Thanks.

    That fixed it.

    I think the issue must be with my reader. It doesn’t exactly have a whopping market share, but I guess other people on other platforms might have the same issue. I’ll have to check to see if there is a bug report for my reader on file.

    I guess I should have used curl first, before jumping to the conclusion that you had done nothing regarding redirects.

    Well, if people are expecting an Atom feed they should get one in the same format. I hadn’t really investigated whether Wordpress had an Atom feed, and kind of hoped most readers would take the difference in stride, but your solution is definitely an improvement.

    Thanks for your help.
