Old Formats Die Hard

I restored a RSS 2.0 feed for More Like This using Feed Burner.

There are plenty of people pointing at my old RSS feed.

But the feed had been replaced with a script that was supposed to tell you that the feed was gone and to switch to the Atom feed. However, I also sent a 410 Gone header, and it looks like browsers and aggregators did not bother showing the content. I missed the semantic, and I think this blog dropped off the radar.

So, if you request the old /rss URL, you’ll get the 2.0 feed via a redirect.
