Blog feeds

I have refreshed my blog feeds. The full list of blogs can be seen in the right hand column on this page. The newbies include:

I dropped a few that seem to have stopped posting, and one that seemed to crank out 10 posts in a row every second day. But almost all of the oldies are still in the mix.

Every time I do this I find small things to amuse me. I had the tweak the feed program for Penny Sharpe’s, Red Leather. For some reason, Penny does not include links to the individual posts in her feed. (It almost begs the question: why provide a feed service?) In his feed, Malcolm Turnbull only provides the date and not the time of his posts. Malcolm is not alone. The ALP media feed time stamps every post 2pm.

As always, I aim for a wide cross-section of blogs. No matter who you are there are some you should love and others you will hate.

If you would like your blog to be included on this page drop me a line and let me know your RSS feed. As a general rule of thumb I only include established sites with more than 100 posts on Australian politics and new sites from established bloggers. I only keep sites that I judge of sufficient quality (no correspondence will be entered into), and which produce well formed feeds. I am happy to accommodate a selection of feeds that span the spectrum from the far left to the far right of Australian politics, provided the blog is well written and well argued.
