RSS now Radio-safe
As Mark Pilgrim and Jon Udell discovered last month, Radio UserLand has a bug in its “News” page (an RSS aggregator), where a perfectly correctly encoded feed that includes sample HTML will interpret the HTML rather than displaying it. It looks like UserLand is in no hurry to fix it, if they plan on fixing it at all. Lucky for me, that’s one advantage of dynamically generating my RSS feeds in PHP, rather than having my tool create static files for me. A little user agent sniffing, and if it’s Radio come a callin’, I just replace every & with an & (and if that displays properly in a browser, a bug-free RSS reader, and in Radio, I’ll know I’ve done it right).
This is a great site!

I’m leaving the above comment for the record, though I edited it to remove the link to the website or the email address. If you are looking for real estate in Las Vegas, you should know that the operator of http://www.las-vegas-real-estate-1.com is a moron spammer, a shyster, and in general just an evil person. He just left that exact same comment in 120 of my entries, and if I hadn’t been at the computer ready to stop him, he would have left it on every single entry. Whatever else you do, you don’t want to do any business with him, or even visit his site.
Haven’t you learned that saying ”do NOT visit this site” automaticly triggers the curiosity of certain people?!
I had to really use willpower not to do it…hehe
