I have been searching all over the net for an answer to this: You know how you can set options to make “permalinks point to” either original website or to this website. But this is a site wide setting, I am wondering is there a way to make some feed’s permalink point to original website while other feed’s permalink point to my website?

Please email me @ createwithnate@gmail.com if any1 knows the answer or can share some insight on this. Thanks

@Darcy,

You an;t pick on the bava, on the bava. Thi is home turf man, what’s going on? oving your FeedWordPress work by the way, and heading to the norman now.

@Jon:

Don’t listen to D’Arcy, try this one: http://bavatuesdays.com/wp-rss2.php
Not sure why this is happening, but bava is a mapped domain on another WordPress Multi-User site, so that may bork some RSS readers, and that makes sense if it has been months. Hmmmm.

Ho ho D’Arcy… Jim, I’m on NetNewsWire. Is there another feed address I should/could use?

How do I get the feed Jon’s got? Things would be so much more peaceful with a nulled Bava feed…

[...] the context of a class or group. But, of course, Jim Groom has beaten me to the punch, and done a much more thorough job of documenting the process than I would/could have done. So, yet again, I’ll just refer to Jim’s work. What I can [...]

Mario,

What is amazing to me, is that you just solved my issue with Jeff above. I was going to go back to BDP RSS, but this fine tune solves it. You rule, thanks for this beautiful combo.

Hi Jim;

Just for fun, I use FeedWordPress to develop a little planet about WPMU: http://blogs.uprm.edu/wpmu . I used the excerpt related and the auto-delelete post plugin to fine tune it. As you can see you are everywhere in this planet.

Hey Jon,

This is most disturbing! How have you been surviving without the bava? I checked Google Reader and Bloglines and it seems to work, are you using a different reader?

Best,
Jim

This reminds me… What’s up with your feed? I have http://bavatuesdays.com/feed/, but have just noticed that nothing’s been coming through for months.

Hey Jeff,

You always ask the good questions

1) Aggregating comments is still extremely difficult with a large group. Reason being it is yet another feed for each blog, and it will bring the comments for every post on a student’s blog. No post specific comment feed. So, for example, Gardner’s seminar was using BDP RSS and placing the aggregator widget that comes with this plugin in the sidebar.

2) FeedWordPress brings the blog posts right into the blog, so no really separate page action unless you want to make the homepage of the blog more static, and feature announcements you make as an RSS feed in the sidebar (you could do this my grabbing the feed for an announcements category for example). But, you are right to point out that the main blog now becomes everyone’s. So, f this doesn’t work, BDP RSS is still an option, and will bring those posts into a separate page in the “ghost” like manner (they are there but not really). The FeedWordPress plugin leaves a more material trace, with one, solid RSS feed for all the class’ work -that being the real difference.
