Furl and Feedburner
Today I upgraded the Recent Links sidebar on my page. I was using a custom Wordpress plugin, but the RSS was shaky and only got updated when I added a full post. So I switched to using Furl to keep track of my links. It’s not perfect (it stores copies of the pages I save and it has ratings, both of which I don’t need), but having more features than I need can’t hurt. You can see all my Furl Recent Links here.
The main reason I switched is because I also switched to FeedBurner for my XML feed. (The feed is at http://darrendelaye.com/feed and redirects to FeedBurner.)
And FeedBurner splices in my Furl feed with my site feed. Everything from this site is now on one feed. If that didn’t make sense, don’t worry about it (but if you’re trying to figure out a good way to read the new posts on websites you like, I recommend Bloglines).
