Dansdeals RSS
« on: April 05, 2013, 04:00:28 PM »
I check the main site with Google Reader, RSS.
One annoying problem (which I assume applies to any RSS method) is that when a dead deal comes back to life, the post with updated details gets bumped back to the top of the DD homepage, but it doesn't show again through RSS.
Is there a way this issue can be addressed?
For example, this deal did not show up in RSS.

I tweeted out the Ecco deal today.  Generally I do that if it's been more than a few days since the OP.
Dunno how to help you with the RSS problem though, sorry. Maybe someone else has an idea?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Seems like the Ecco deal is in the RSS feed?
At least it's in my live bookmark.

It is updated in Google reader, but it isn't marked as new, and it appears in the order that it was originally posted, i.e. I would have to scroll a couple of months back.
No way I would notice it without specifically searching for it.

Dansdeals in Google reader only show the first 2 lines from a post and not the full content

I would try saving the blog post as a draft for a couple seconds and then republishing it.

Did you ever hear of SEO? Every click counts.

I'm in love with my RSS feeds.  Why on earth is google stopping it??!  >:(  :'(

Although my amazing app gReader claims to working on a fix that it should be working even after google Reader stops.

Always had that issue, thanks for bringing it up.  Sad there's no solution.
