Formatting in aggregators
Wednesday, February 9, 2005 at 7:47PM In January I received an email from Lisa who reads this blog using Blogines:
I just did a check with on a Windows XP machine with Opera, Foxfire and Internet Explorer. They all look the same to me. . . no line breaks or paragraph breaks. I've also viewed it (not today) with Mac OSX Safari, with the same result.Any suggestions? No problems with mozilla on an XP machine
Now, it's February and I've got a bit of time to explore the issue, requesting feedback from readers. Thus far, here's what I've been told:
"FYI, it looks fine in SharpReader"
"using Radio (from Radio Userland) .. lines run together all combinations of platform and browser . . . PC and Mac, IE and Firefox "
"I read the Barnett weblog in Bloglines using Firefox 1.0 in both
Windows XP and Linux, and it always looks fine to me -- paragraph
breaks, indentation for blockquotes, etc.""No formatting problems noticeable in Tom's blog. I'm Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2; normally use Mozilla Firefox when I read; sometimes Deepnet Explorer."
Hmmmm. . . I'd like more data about Radio/Frontier UserLand. My referral logs show a bunch of you out there. Do you see paragraphs in this post? Indents?
If anyone wants to suggest a tweak to my RSS 2.0 template -- that will render the expected formatting in Radio -- please let me know.
