RSS feed problems

Post by jdrodrigues »

Hi Garvin, everyone,

With ref. to what I said in:
http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?t=10714

I have now identified what the issue is that I would like to fix.

If I add more posts/articles with the same date & time, the RSS reader will not show the new posts on refresh. Only a post with a new date/time, more recent than the latest one already shown in the reader, will show.

Is there a way for me to change this?

I suspect this is an issue with RSS readers and they way they are designed to work.

Any thoughts?

Hi!

Yes, this is normal with every RSS feed that has conditional get caching! You should not create entries with exactly the same timestamp. How do you achieve that? In 5 years of blogging I've never seen entries with exactly the same timestamp! Just a second more on the newer entry would suffice. :)

Best regards,
Garvin
