Standard Mischief: ….Aaaand, I am an idiot. Come to think of it, I really do not remember what file MT used, but at least everything appears to be pointing in the right direction now .

A few quick notes. First, RSS and Atom feed addresses are currently http://www.wallsofthecity.net/rss.xml and http://www.wallsofthecity.net/atom.xml, respectively. Those syndication addresses will be changing …

Direct copy/paste from your post, so that’s why I tested it. Now that it’s working I’ll update my reader to the standard wordpress ones.

Rss.xml never existed with MT, so far as I know, but I can redirect that one too. Index.xml was the RSS2 feed.

Unfortunately, Google Reader does not seem to update old links regardless of the code output, so I guess I will just have to nudge people occasionally to update their links manually.

And, yeah, I am definitely leaning towards a darker color palette, but the same basic idea. As for code…

Testing.
Testing.

123.

Let us see how that comes out.

Another odd thing is that my old RSS aggravater use to change the saved feed when it encountered a 301. Now it treats a 301 the same as a 302 “moved temp”

anyway I like the theme, except I’d fool with the colors some myself. I wonder how it handles displaying code (which my ugly theme does pretty well).

Congrats on getting it done faster than I ever could.

Though I do recommend RSS2 with WP – seems to be a bit more polished, though I need to find a plugin like what Caleb seems to be running for his feeds.

http://www.wallsofthecity.net/xmlrpc.php is the actual page that creates the feed, but it’s an ugly URL so WordPress pretties it up.

The only thing I can think of is that later rules in your .htaccess modify the request somehow. The reason this is such voodoo is because you do it just often enough that you forget the mischief between sessions.

using the -I command in curl lets me look at the raw headers. I’m getting a 404 instead of a 301.

Suffice to say, though, a lot of things are going to be changing over the next few days .
