You may remember a while ago I switched to Google Reader, and also added my shared items feed onto the sidebar of this site as a link blog. Unfortunately, as several people discovered, the sidebar module I was using scrambled the links. Thankfully I’ve now fixed the problem, and as always it proved to be remarkably simple – Google Reader produces an atom feed, and unlike some plug-ins, the sidebar module included in K2, only copes with RSS. Fixing the problem therefore only required a quick trip over to Feedburner to run the feed through their ‘Convert Format Burner’ and then just link to the converted feed instead.

Link Blog
After hearing lots of good things about Google Reader, I thought I’d give it a try for a while – a side effect of which is that I can make use of the sharing features to produce a link blog. You can see the main shared items page here, and also thanks to a neat feature of WordPress, you can also find the latest ten items on the sidebar, currently located underneath the regular links.
In terms of what the link blog will contain, it will essentially be a feed of any postings I find interesting as I’m reading through my feed selection in Google Reader, all in all it promises to be a fairly eclectic mix I suspect – much like the normal postings to this site probably…
