I have just installed the PuSHPress plugin, and this post is a test to see whether it works. If yes, this post should be indexed quickly by Google Reader (and other feed readers).
Filed in “Real-Time Web“.
UPDATE: I am so impressed, I could lay an egg. A brand-new post appears in Google Reader within seconds. I [...]

BetFair’s chart widgets don’t go into feeds.

Written by Chris F. Masse on July 29, 2009 — Leave a Comment

Why the fuck would bloggers embed BetFair’s chart widgets if their blog readers can’t see these charts when using feed readers (like Google Reader)?

Once again, we can see plainly the incompetence of the BetFair team when it comes to blogging. They don’t have the first clue. In spite of my blogging and e-mailing this issue [...]

WordPress 2.7, the embedded YouTube videos, and the feed readers

Written by Chris F. Masse on December 26, 2008 — Leave a Comment

This is an update. The WordPress guy came back to me with answers. It is a dual problem: a HTML validity issue and an invalid tag issue in TinyMCE.

One way to solve the problem would be to use the “Smart YouTube” plugin. I won’t.
If I embed the YouTube video in the “HTML” area, and don’t [...]

Problem with my WordPress 2.7, my embedded YouTube videos, and my feed reader(s).
Still a mystery.
No word yet from the WordPress authorities.
A tipster tells me that the plugin “Smart YouTube” solves the problem.
I won’t install the plugin before I get reliable info from the WordPress authorities.
UPDATE: If I embed the YouTube video in the “HTML” area, [...]

Problem with my WordPress 2.7, my embedded YouTube videos, and my feed reader(s).

Written by Chris F. Masse on December 12, 2008 — 2 Comments

In my last post, I have embedded 7 YouTube videos on prediction markets (featuring Emile Servan-Schreiber of NewsFutures). While they work fine on the post within my web browser, they can’t be seen when that same post is displayed within a feed reader (such as Google Reader or Sage).
At this moment, I have no idea [...]

The Inkling Markets chart widgets are un-usable —unlike NewsFutures and HubDub’s ones.

Written by Chris F. Masse on November 6, 2008 — Leave a Comment

They do not go into feeds.

Regrettably, I never quoted Inkling during the last 2008 US presidential elections for that reason —and because I am not sure about the reputation of the people who expire contracts.
