Disappearing Act

I’ve started trying to train myself to use Google Reader: rather than trying to remember all of the sites that I want to visit each day, and having to visit each one independently, I can go to one place and view them all. Sure, these are all benefits of RSS readers, and everybody else discovered them years ago. What can I say, I’m slow.

Anyways, Google Reader caches things on its own (which makes sense), and that has a peculiar effect: if Reader hits up the RSS feed while an article exists, and then the author decides to delete said article, said article will appear in Reader, but not on the site.

Which is where I find myself right now: I have an entry from Matt entitled, “A More Perfect Blog,” that shows nowhere on the site. So… where’d it go, Matt? 😉

    I found a sidebar plugin for Firefox that does RSS, integrating with “Live Bookmarks.” It makes sense to me to use it in-browser, except that I sometimes find I’ve visited all the sites so there’s no need to view the feeds. 🙂

    So… where’d it go, Matt?

    The main page was looking too cluttered, so I suspended it for a bit. If I don’t pay attention, I tend to write enormously lengthy posts that push neat, concise little ones way down, which I’ve been trying to avoid doing.
