Google reader won’t follow 301

Well I said some time ago that I use mod_redirect while migrating from pyblosxom to wordpress. It turns out not all the RSS readers are following a 301 redirct. At least for the one I’m using, Google Reader, won’t do this. So now all my subscribers would think I no longer write blogs :(

To fix this, I’d have to generate the index.rss file manually:

wget http://dryice.name/blog/rss -O index.rss

and add this to a cron job.

I’ll follow this up and report if this works with Google Reader (it should). The drawback is that this feed is not “realtime”. I set the cron job to update the feed once a day, cause most of the time I won’t write two blogs a day, so for now Google Reader users will get a bit delay, but hay, it’s better than not getting update, right?

And for all my subscribers still using http://dryice.name/blog/index.rss: please update to http://dryice.name/blog/rss. Thanks!
