Thanks for the tip!

I haven’t put a link to the RSS feed on Wikinews itself yet as it’s quite interesting to see how news of it is worming its way through the blogosphere (I’m monitoring stats on readers of the feed and hits on the blog), but I’ll add one shortly.

Oh yeah, I read my blog’s comments. Sometimes I act on them, too. Not only am I actually interested in what people say/think about what I’ve posted, but it’s a great way to nip comment spam in the bud. = )

I tried to find details about the weblog on Wikinews, but I looked in the completely wrong places.

Perhaps some of you might be interested in an upcoming Webcast about The Vanishing Newspaper on March 9. It sounds like it’ll be about how news-reading habits of people have changed. Details & links: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jkbaumga/2005/02/10#a3055.

whay hey, a blogger who reads their comments . Thanks for changing your post!

Got it.

I was told by someone else it wasn’t everything, just selected articles. I’ll correct my text.

Thanks, Dan100!

PS the blog is at http://wikinewslatestnews.blogspot.com/

Just to clarify, I’m not ’selecting’ Wikinews stories. I’m blogging ALL articles that are published on the Latest news template (effectively the front page of the English Wikinews). I do this as often as I can – once at around 7am UTC, and then as soon as I see anything new 5pm – 10pm UTC (the times I have ‘net access).

The blog posts consist of nothing more than a direct link to the article, and I only use the given article title (ie I do no editing).

BTW the site feed is now running through FeedBurner, so should work in any aggregator system. The blogposts also have Haloscan comments and TrackBacks. I don’t advise using the comments – use the Talk page of an article if you want to make comments – but feel free to use the TrackBack links.
