Roc, can you give us a description so we can introduce the blog to the Planet Mozilla audience. See http://blog.mozilla.com/planet/ for examples from others. Thanks.

"The Mozilla Web-Tech Blog will publish announcements of new Gecko features for Web developers as they become available in nightly builds."

Shaver, anything to add?

Reed, can you make it point to the new blog now?

Comment 7

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

Thanks for fixing this, but the old URL was added. Please change it to the new URL (see URL field) ... or do I have to file a new bug for that?

Reed said to reopen the bug

Comment 9

[Robert Accettura [:raccettura]]

Sorry about that.

Fixed.

Seems I used the right one for the planet blog post.

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

Thanks. The link on the planet.mozilla.org right sidebar seems to still be wrong though.

I'm seeing:

<a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/web-tech" title="Web Tech Blog">The Mozilla Web-Tech Blog</a> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/web-tech/?feed=rss">(feed)</a>

Yeah, it looks great now, thanks!

For some reason I didn't see any changes to planet.mozilla.org during most of today. Then suddenly it updated with that fix plus a whole lot of blog posts.

Sorry sorry sorry.

I have apparently given you the wrong feed URL. We want this one:
http://developer.mozilla.org/web-tech/feed/
This is the RSS 2.0 feed which will provide the full articles, instead of just having the "teaser" show up in planet.

As you can tell, I'm a blogging n00b.

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

Oh, please oh please, http://developer.mozilla.org/web-tech/feed/atom/ - with the Atom feed, when-not-if you decide to use a title that includes "<foo>", if it doesn't display correctly we can unambiguously tell whether it's because of a bug in WordPress or a bug in Venus based on an RFC, unlike in RSS 2.0 where it's completely a matter of opinion based on interpreting a couple of intentionally vague blog posts, "how other people do it," and some sheep entrails. As much as any blog on the planet, Mozilla Web-Tech is the reason why we spent several years writing the Atom spec, and it would be a horrible shame not to make use of it.
