FeedBurner has a new feature out, since Google announced their URL shortener. I originally had logic to shorten the permalinks with tr.im, then post to Twitter, but since FeedBurner can do this now, I’m not going to do it. I like to outsource that kind of stuff, which I’ll talk about in a later post. Also in the news today, Github is having some problems, but they’ll be back soon, so don’t you worry. All in all, this is...

(See Part 2) Well I found the proper ping URL, http://ping.feedburner.google.com/, and it looks like everything is supposedly working as advertised. No doubt I’ll be keeping an eye on things for the next little while… Google Reader also seems to be a bit slow too. EDIT: Nope. 37 minutes after publishing even with the ping and Feedburner doesn’t have it yet. Changing plugins for giggles.

(See Part 1) My initial thought was that Feedburner was just getting redirected to itself, but the code is there in the plugin, and does work, but added a ping, so hopefully this actually makes it update a bit faster… It’s probably some sort of caching issue, which I’m investigating as well.

In that, my feed doesn’t get updated fast enough. I had a post go out at 8 AM, then at 8:47 AM, and they both showed up at just after noon. Anybody else experiencing this? I’ll probably follow up if I fix this.
