<p>
It's been on my to-do list since <a href="http://www.rakaz.nl/">Rakaz</a> published <a href="http://www.rakaz.nl/nucleus/item/103" title="Moving from Atom 0.3 to 1.0">his guide to moving from Atom 0.3 to Atom 1.0</a>, but now I've modified <a href="/brandnewcms" title="I've Got A Brand New Content Management System And I'll Give You The Key">the Mooquackwhatnotbot</a> to produce an <a href="http://atompub.org/">Atom 1.0</a> feed. </p>
<p>
Doing so was virtually painless. The only problem I had was ensuring that entries without any descriptive blurb got some nominal summary text; but that was my fault for repeating the same code in two places and only remembering to change one instance. </p>
<p>
As of the next entry, the main Atom feed will be in Atom 1.0 format. For those who're using a feed reader that only supports 0.3, I'll keep an up-to-date Atom 0.3 feed online at <a href="/atom-0.3.xml">http://gkn.me.uk/atom-0.3.xml</a> for a while, but I will stop updating it pretty soon (probably when Thunderbird 1.5 Beta comes out). </p>
