Wikifray And RSS

Right.

Will someone tell me how the fuck I get rid of this RSS thing?

I don't know how I got it and I don't fucking want it.

I DO NOT want anything of mine appearing on this 'Fray' thing.

Thank you.

I have a comment feed set up with some of the blogs I like to follow. It doesn't appear anywhere else - it's just a convenient way to see what people are writing.

I'm taking you off of it, though. You can also set your blog to disallow rss.

No offense intended, Sleepy.

PS. To turn it off, go into dashboard, under the settings tab go to comment feed. You can set it to stop feeding posts and/or comments (in advanced mode), or in basic mode, to stop feeding at all, or just a couple lines, or whatever.

PPS. If you leave a comment on my blog, it will show up on the group blog I belong to. At the bottom of my page, though, I set up a comment feed for my blog alone, where you can click on a link (post title) and comment on the feed itself (won't appear anywhere but there).

I set it up about a week ago when I realized it could be a solution to people being uncomfortable with having comments show up elsewhere. Nobody's used it yet.

TK... I have no problem with comments I leave on your blog appearing. It's your blog to do as you please.
No offense taken and thank you very much for the instructions!

Hopefully I've managed it!

No prob, sleepy.

For whatever it's worth, the only place your writing was appearing (from my activities, anyway) was on a private comment feed - didn't go anywhere else.

Aggregators have been around for quite awhile, apparently, though I didn't know a thing about them until I got hooked up with this group blog (the person who designed it feeds comments from willing contributors back onto a sidebar on the blog - kind of keeps us networked).

I went and found out about them when I was trying to do something similar (actually, I was trying to set up a "clone" blog that'd allow people to comment without it appearing on the group one - though I discovered you can comment to a comment feed and it works about as well as what I wanted to do anyway).

Aggregators are just automatic, as opposed to having to click over all the time.

If you want to check it out, visit my blog and click on one of the stories on the listing on the bottom of the page. That'll take you to "feedbite", which hosts the comment feed.

Since I set mine up, I've apparently broadened readership quite a bit, because I've gotten a surprising number of reccomends.

Anyhoo, there it is.

Back to work.

Why yes, Schnee, you should.

Sadly missed it at the cinema so now I'm at the mercy of the video store. Maybe I'll start whining at them soon, sometimes that works.
