For the past week or so my feed has been all arsed up and I have only just now spotted it (tweerp).  It was due to a buggy version of one of my wordpress plugin called “Ultimate Tag Warrior”.  Updated the plugin and it seems all is well now.

So one of the first thing’s I do of a morning is to wake up the mac and check bloglines, in the hope that the sooner i do that and catch up on the gossip the sooner I can get on and do other things. There’s getting to be too much of the damn stuff though and i’m not sure what the reason is, partly I suppose it is that I keep adding more blogs to my feed without taking some of the oldies out, but also I think the blogs such as boing-boing and gizmodo with their multiple contributors are just writing way too much these days. They go on and on and on. I think there should be some way of filtering out posts, maybe by tag, say choose on bloglines not to have any posts that are talking about microsoft in your feed. A rating system might be an idea as well, although that would be very difficult to implement, it could involve a 5 star rating against each blog post and each time you rate a post it’s sent to some kind of central service such as technorati, and then when you RSS Reader collects todays feeds it can check each post against the ratings at technorati and bin any that are below 3 stars. Well, i dunno, it’s an idea.
