Neptune’s Lab

Displaying content syndicated from Blogger is easy since Google has adopted the Atom standard throughout most of it’s properties.

Atom is a popular RSS syndication standard, however Atom differers from RRS 2.0 in a few ways. Notible differences are in required content and payload. Read More about these differences if they are important to you.

Through WordPress I quickly added an RSS widget to my sidebar. Of course the RSS widget only displays the post titles I could easily consume the entire post. Here is a link to Neptune’s Atom fee from Blogger.

I am about to explore possibilities with FeedBurner re-syndicating Neptune’s blogger feed. Google has acquired FeedBurner and Blogger (also a Google property) recently announced some tighter integration, allowing your Blogger feed to redirect to FeedBurner. This redirection help keep everyone syndicating from you all getting the feed from the same place. Additionally since feed burner offers usage Statistics along with a bunch of other goodies like automatic links to Digg and del.icio.us it’s a good idea to keep everyone on the FeedBurner feed.
