1999.io: How to make sure posts get into the RSS feed

Recently, I helped a friend (Ron Chester) set up a 1999.io instance for a blog on ham radio. In his initial posts, however, he did not see the posts appear in the RSS feed for the site. I did some debugging (will go through that in a post some other time) and found that the problem was due to a setting within 1999.io. There was a reference on the 1999 blog for Facebook Instant Article support, saying that the checkbox needed to be checked for IA support.

In the default install, this box was checked. As a result, if a user posted something without a title, it would not appear in the RSS feed (the 1999 blog post linked above states this). To make sure that all posts (with or without titles) appear in the RSS feed, this box should be unchecked, as shown in the above picture.

 

I am back

For my five loyal readers, I wanted to let you know that I am returning to active posting on this site. I have been spending the majority of my writing time on my Portland Protest News site, but I am drawing that to a close. Another obstacle was a unforseen hospital stay a few weeks ago, but I have pretty much recovered from that, so I think it is time to jump back in. I have a few posts on the 1999 blog tool to get out, as well as some other items of note, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!
