Known Issues
- RSS 0.91-2 blogs have no date entries per item (not much we can do about this - encourage blog writers to upgrade their feed) Dates for these feeds are calculated based on the feed build date as the first item and each subsequent posting being one day into the past. For those authors that tend to post many times in one day the date will be out of whack... sorry (think of upgrading to RDF 1.0)
The builddate for some RSS 0.91-2 blogs is calculated incorrectly. The code actually defaults to now() in the event that the date cannot be determined from the feed. Am sure with a little bit of effort i can make the date parsing routines more robust.(done 20020709)
Suggestions From The Great Unwashed
Let me know what you'd like and I'll see what I can do to get it into the Goog development schedule.
