Special update for those following ISED-L by RSS feed

I wanted to let everyone know about a technical change which I implemented last night and may change your feed content and your reading process for ISED-L content.

If you subscribe to this feed, it is likely coming through Feedburner with a feed address of http://feeds.feedburner.com/ised-l_blog. Until last night, that address was receiving content from Blogger, concurrent with the posting of content on the "Independent School Educators' List (ISED-L) Blog" (which is merely aggregating content from the listserv. That feed was a full feed, but it also suggested the posts were by me (they weren't, they were just coming through my Blogger account) and may have included the full email addresses of those who had posted to the listserv.

Following some impassioned discussion, and learning that the listserv actually produces a RSS feed (albeit undocumented), I changed the input to Feedburner. **The Feedburner feed is now coming straight from the listserv at Syracuse.** On the one hand, this means that the feed is "straight from the horse's mouth." On the the other hand, it means that the feed is no longer a full feed but rather just the headline (or subject line) and the writer's name.

This means that those of us using the RSS feed as the primary method of receiving the listserv content will have to **click through** in order to get the full post to read. Granted, this might be another step to go through, but I believe it addresses the majority of issues raised by those members of the listserv who were opposed to the blog and the feed. Click on the title of the post, and you'll be taken to the ISED-L archive and that specific contribution to the list.

Anyway, I felt it was important for those of you who are here on the RSS feed realize what the recent change was, why things look different, and how you can get the content with just one click on the feed title in your reader.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me off-line at pastinson@gmail.com or on the list.

Peace,
