Original Post: A smaller master feed
Feed Title: Cincom Smalltalk Blog - Smalltalk with Rants
Feed URL: http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/rssBlog/rssBlogView.xml
Feed Description: James Robertson comments on Cincom Smalltalk, the Smalltalk development community, and IT trends and issues in general.
I've received periodic complaints about the size of the master feed. It had been the latest 8 items from each of the Cincom blogs. Now, that worked fine for some of the very active feeds (like mine) - but less well for the less frequently updated ones. The master feed is now operating differently. If a blog has posts from the current date, it will contain all the posts from that date. Otherwise, it will contain the one most recent post. This makes for a much smaller master feed - instead of the 650k it was sitting at yesterday, it's now down to about 80k.
