Something Better Than Blogdigger

6 Replies

The rate of feature development (or lack thereof) at Blogdigger has led me to the decision to move the St. Blog’s Parish Aggregator somewhere else. Can anybody recommend a similar service for managing a publicly searchable list of syndication feeds?

Update: I had a very nice chat with Greg Gershman, one of the men behind Blogdigger. He made some temporary fixes to appease me, so I won’t be moving the aggregator. We also discussed various potential new features on the horizon for the service. I hope they come to fruition. Blogdigger has something unique and it’d really be a shame if they fell behind with feature development. I switched blogging software for that very reason.

I Hate Internet Explorer

Changing blog themes (or in this case, the whole blogging platform), can be a liberating a renewing experience. It can also be a pain in the tuchus. Every time I’ve changed themes, I’ve had to chase down bugs that only show up in Internet Explorer. That browser is a steamy pile of feces and I strongly urge, nay beg, my readers to pick a better one.

A kind reader informed me that the right sidebar is fubar in IE. I’ll try to fix it soon, but I’ll confess it’s a low priority. Might any of you have suggestions for fixing what’s broken? Anyhow, in the meantime, if you’re an IE user, please click this link:

With all the hubbub of moving to WordPress and busy at work, I forgot to point you guys to my first submission to Overheard in Pittsburgh. If you’v never read OiP before, you really should. It’s freakin’ hilarious.

BTW, a belated congratulations goes to Chris Griswold, the proprietor of OiP, who was recently interviewed by City Paper. Keep up the good work, Chris. 🙂

Update 02/06: The link’s been fixed to reflect the changed title at OiP.

Minding “Minding the Planet”

Yes, Mr. Spivack, I would indeed like a link from a blog of the calibre of Minding the Planet. Some of my readers might as well. They might even be able to help you make your good blog even better.

Readers, go check out Minding the Planet. Then, come back here and comment on what you’d like to see more (or less) of there. For myself, I don’t know if there’s any particular type of content I’d like to see more or less of, but I’d like to see an increase in the posting frequency.
