It may just be me not understanding the intricacies of RSS or having the wrong software (I'm using Firefox's Sage) on my crappy computer, but isn't one hundred entries a bit big?

I could be wrong, but I think mosts RSS readers let you choose how many entries to show.

I must be using the wrong reader, then. I just figured, since all my other feeds were retaining different numbers of entries (anywhere from seven to forty, excepting this one), it was up to the feed's originator.

I don't know how RSS works at all.

Sorry!

I'll ask Jonah, though!

I reduced the number down to the last 50. What's a good number to have it set to?

An awful lot of blogs and such seem to have it set to about 10 - 15. I'd say this is a good number as your not putting out more than 1 new story every hour and when I come in on monday (I don't check rss on weekend) there doesn't seem to be more than 15 anyway.

Any luck on lowering the RSS feed setting? I tried to use it in a newsreader and was told the size was too big. Also, the technorati ping hasn't been updated in 34 days still.

Hm, that should have worked...It's how I ping my blog.

What about the RSS feed? Any headway on that front?

(I must sound so demanding!)

The RSS feed is at 15 now.
