I’ve finally gotten around to moving my XML feeds to Feedburner.
Here is what persuaded me:
- universal feed format (SmartFeed)
- the browser friendly feature is cool
- lessens the load on my server
- someone else can worry about validity, formats etc
- feed splicing
I’m not killing the feeds from this site but I would appreciate it if current subscribers pointed their feed readers to the new URLs. As is the current trend, I’ve created a syndication page. I mention this as I’m pleased with the effect provided by a single line of CSS:
ul.feeds>li a:hover:after { content: attr(href); margin-left: 1em;
font-size: smaller; color: #898E79; }
Obviously, this only works on modern browsers. Sorry Explorer users.

Well… Tried with a narrow window? Go ahead, shrink it on the h-axis, and you’ll see what your nifty code messes up. Yep! Jumping links. Now the question is: can you add overflow to generated content? :chuckle:
Also, feed:// is not recognised by FF, and sage does a nice enough job so I’ve no need for another browser that’d work only for feeds. Sorry if this may sound prehistorical but backward compatibility is always there lurking…

OK Korbo, I’ve fixed that horrible overflow glitch. It wasn’t too easy…
