Category Archives: Feeds (RSS)MyYahoo: Subscribing to feeds doesn’t get any easier than this. Or does it?
In my long and varied experience giving presentations, workshops, and coaching to help people wrap their brains around today’s online media, I’ve noticed a pattern that helps me predict who will really “get it” and use it well, and who doesn’t.
The people who [...]

Fingers crossed! OK, these aren’t my fingers, but still…
As I looked into this vexing problem further, I remembered that Wordpress generates several feed URLs for any blog. I had been pointing this version, contentious.com/wp-rss.php, to Feedburner — and for some reason that version is truncated.
I just realized that when I [...]
I’m getting rather frustrated, here…
(UPDATE: I think I fixed the problem.)
OK, I need some help here. Somehow my feed for this blog reverted from full text to an ultra-short summary. It had been working fine, but then it got screwy. I’m pretty frustrated, and I’ve reached the limit of what I can do to diagnose [...]
Just a quick note, since a couple of folks have asked. Sometime late last week the feed for this blog, which had been full-text, has reverted to a short summary. I’m not sure why. I probably screwed something up when messing with WordPress an/or Feedburner. I don’t have time today to figure it out, but [...]
Jack Vinson
Knowledge management guru Jack Vinson had a lot of advice for scattered content creators like me.
In response to my post yesterday, I want one place for all my content, knowledge management guru and very cool guy Jack Vinson (who I finally got to meet at BlogHer) posted an elaborate list of almost-options that [...]
One way to cut e-mail overload: Here’s what it looks like when you read a discussion list on the web, rather than by e-mail. (Click to enlarge)
For more than a decade, e-mail discussion lists have been a mainstay of conversational media — and I think they’re likely to continue to remain popular. E-mail is approachable [...]
I was just overwhelmed. My "system" felt organized at first, but it got to be chaos. So this weekend I made some radical changes in how I use feeds.
For a long time, I’d kept over 400 feeds organized into about 20 topic areas (environment, energy, science, women, law, etc.) bundled into my former favorite feed [...]
Yesterday, my editor at Poynter Online, Bill Mitchell, asked me for ideas for covering how Katie Couric’s debut last night as the new CBS Evening News anchor is playing online.
Well, I honestly didn’t watch her show last night. I was really tired and went to bed early. I almost never watch TV news anyway. However, [...]
As I mentioned earlier, this weekend I’m speaking at the annual conference of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ).
On Saturday, Jeff South (Va. Commonwealth Univ.) and I will be hosting a session from 3:30-4:30 pm on this theme: “Technology: A User’s Guide to Software, Hardware and Other Tools Revolutionizing Journalism.” (Incidentally, just before that, [...]
On Wednesday, May 17, I’ll be giving a talk at the annual conference of the University Reseach Magazine Association (URMA). They seem like a fun group of media professionals. (Seriously — their conference agenda even features the Creature from the Black Lagoon!)
The topic of my talk is: Invasion of the bloggin’ pods: The new media – ready or not, they’re here! (So whatta we do with ‘em?)…
