Michael mentioned to me today that my RSS feed had a lot of jobs in it. I thought I had properly configured Textpattern to separate my blog from my posting of Canadian UX jobs . Seems that this isn’t true.
I’ve installed “ajw-clean-feed”http://compooter.org/article/141/textpattern-plugin-ajw-clean-feed and cleaned up my .htaccess file, cleaned up my feed URI in Feedburner and have tested everything with NetNewsWire . Hopefully you should be able to subscribe to davidcrow.ca without those annoying job postings. And you can subscribe to my list of Canadian UX jobs without any of my annoying banter.
- DavidCrow.ca Feeds:
- Canadian UX Jobs Feeds:
I’ve made some additional changes to the .htaccess including redirecting the query string for the old Textpattern RSS feed – http://davidcrow.ca/?rss=1 to only the blog content, i.e., no job postings, at http://feeds.feedburner.com/davidcrow/ . This was accomplished by using:
RewriteCondition {%QUERY_STRING} ^rss=1
RewriteRule ^$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/davidcrow [R=301,L]

Thanks, good post.
any reason why you switched from textpattern to wordpress?
Hi Walter,
I really liked Textpattern. It was a great CMS, I still run it for a couple of small sites. But I wanted a more accespted blogging platform. It was a long time ago I made the switch.
