I’m subscribed to Ironman Perl’s full Atom feed in google reader. Most posts display nicely, especially if they use embedded css like mine (boo – bad practice Jared) ;)
However, it seems as though there is some strange interaction between certain feeds, Ironman and Google Reader. Take a look at this post from Mark Fowler:
Everything has been stripped, even the paragraphs and line feeds.
At first I thought it was only feeds burned with feedburner, but it isn’t as simple as that.
Another minor nit: detection of the word perl isn’t done at the beginning and end of the words. Hence, properly would cause a post to show up in the feed, even if it has nothing to do with perl.
This has been bothering me too. It’s not just my posts – which render find if I subscribe to any of my feeds directly – but a whole other bunch of psople too.
I’m using wordpress as my blog engine (hosted by wordpress.com) so it’s not like I’ve rolled my own obscure engine and my feed is ‘wrong’
I got as far as checking out the source for the aggregator from git, but I couldn’t see amthing immediately and obviously wrong, and I ran out of tuits pretty darn quickly.
I’d be a happy bunny if someone could fix this.
Unformatted is better than nothing. My blog seems to have disappeared from Ironman when vox switched me over to typepad.
I think it’s this bug in XML::Feed.

There’s a patch included there, which you can apply to your local copy of XML::Feed until Simon finds the time to release the fixed version.
@Mark – yes, you’re right. It is quite a few feeds that have the problem. And they look fine if you subscribe to them directly.
@Tim – yes, that is harsh. It looks like you’ll need to subscribe again.
@realdavorg – Thanks for pointing it out. The patch has been available for a while without being applied though no? I guess I shouldn’t hold my breath for this to be fixed.
