FeedBlendr trick update
Here's the deal.
If you use Google Reader, it offers you a really simple way of putting your shared items into your blog/site. There are however two problems:
- It seems to put the items in your shared feed in the order that you added them and not in the order that they were originally published. You might like this, but I'd prefer them in order.
- The text of your items can't be seen at all by spiders. That bit of your page is all script. No lovely free spider food there then.
- It sorts them into chronological order putting the latest at the top. Yay.
- The text looks more like it could be seen by those spiders. Yay.
- You go from a maximum of ten items to a maximum of five. Small boo.
I've tagged the feed in question as "Blended Goo", and relegated the original Google Reader output ("Property Roundup") to the bottom of the page.
PS1: updating the feed doesn't seem to be updating the blended feed immediately. Hmm
PS2: I'm not totally confident about what is and isn't seen by particular SE spiders; will have to wait for indexing and look at the cache for the page.
