blo.gs is less broken

the folks at yahoo did something to make blo.gs a little less broken. but some people’s blogs, like jeremy zawodny’s still show spurious updates. based on the info page for jeremy’s blog, i bet it is because it has decided that his comment feed is his main rss feed. which isn’t surprise, since that rss feed contains <link>http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/</link> in the <channel>.

it’s even worse when an entry gets hijacked by a feed that isn’t really the right one.

Hm... What *should* I use for the link?

good question. sam ruby has an html page that corresponds to the comments feed, so i guess that is one way out.

i don’t have a good solution for solving the problem, but i trust that you brainiacs at yahoo are working on one. i can only assume you’re as displeased with the dive in quality of the service and data at blo.gs as i am. (like the fountain of crap being spewed by the totally obvious spammer.)

It's definitely comment feeds causing the spurious updates, I've confirmed that with a contact at Yahoo!. I've also forwarded along an idea for a possible partial fix.
