Hello friends, I suppose I should mention this periodically. When delicious.com went away (or threatened to), our sidebar recap collection was switched over to a system which is internal to blogger (our blog host) so we figured it would never go away...
It works fine if you use the Internet Explorer browser or Firefox, but unfortunately CHROME BROWSER IS TOO STUPID TO USE IT. If you examine this problem of rss feeds online you will find many people wailing about "Why can't Chrome negotiate rss feeds properly like all the other browsers?" and there is no answer. Yet.
In the mean time, if you want to read old recaps, switch to IE or Firefox and then click on the recap feed in the sidebar. Sorry about this. Feel free to comment. In particular: does the recap feed work for you?
I think it works for me. BTW I have never gotten a reply from you regarding your email to recappers.
ReplyDeleteMy smartphone also isn't very smart as I can't access the sidebar from that either. Not sure which browser a not-so-smartphone uses.
ReplyDeleteMelinama, thanks for figuring this out. I use Firefox and the feeds work for me.
ReplyDeleteLike R la O my Droid phone can't access the feeds either. I downloaded the mozilla firefox browser app AND a newsreader for my phone and it uploads samples of the recaps from the sidebar link, but I don't seem to be able to click through to the actual recap. Maybe I haven't figured out how to do it correctly.
Melinama, what seems to work for me w/ Chrome is to click the TN's name next to "Labels" at the end of a recap. That brings up all the Refugio recaps or all the Por Ella recaps, etc. Then I bookmark them by TN and get to them easily.
ReplyDeleteThat only works for the more recent ones, though. It doesn't allow us to check back a week or two.
ReplyDeleteIt works on IE.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't work on my iPod which I believe uses Safari.
It did seem to work on my iPhone though.
ReplyDeleteAnd now it works on my iPod too. Wow, it used to give me garbled text. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what "the feed" is. When I come to the main page, I can read everything fine on my iPhone4s but to find an old recap by clicking on the sidebar, it's a no-go. I don't use the delicious site when I read & post; I always come to http://caraycaray.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI have had maddening issues with "blogspot" recently, too. I'm on another 'forum' with this type format but I can actually post on it, like the recappers do. A month ago, it refused to allow me to post from the Dashboard and suggested I use Google Chrome, which I dislike. I did use GC for a few weeks, then all of a sudden . . . I cannot access dashboard from GC but all is playing well with IE. No puede ser. Me vuelven loca!
But, not on my IPhone

ReplyDeleteMy tablet uses Safari and I can't read anything from the sidebar. I have to scroll down the blog site and I can not read comments and miss any entries that drop off to the sidebar. But then again my Impression Tablet is a cheap Bic Pen tablet.
ReplyDeleteAh! Glad to have run into this post. I just recently switched from FireFox to Chrome because FireFox has a problem with Flash and Flash Player on my computer, and I couldn't figure out WHAT the heck was going on with the recap feed in Chrome. Heheheh.
ReplyDeleteThanks much for the info. When I come to Caray, I'll just use one of the other browsers. :)
