The recent Google update that they call “Update Jagger” has been very good for me - several of my websites now have a PageRank of 5 and traffic seems to have increased over the last few weeks, too.

This looks weird - compare the three screen grabs on the left with the text on the right … It’s almost as if person A wrote the text on the right and then asked the designer person B (who is using a Mac) to take the screen grabs that are visible on the left - except that the part of the application where person B took the second screen grab doesn’t work on a Mac …

Haven’t updated the documentation yet, but as you can see in the following example, there are two new parameters in the HTML related output URLs for feedjumbler, with which you can set a custom dateformat and language:

http://feedjumbler.com/…?…&datelanguage=de-CH&dateformat=dddd,+MMMM+dd,+yyyy

Refer to the MSDN docs for CultureInfo (for datelanguage) and DateTime.ToString (for dateformat).

Ever since I started using Flickr I thought that that was a great site and tool. But the way their RSS feeds are set up always bothered me - I don’t want to have an entry in my feed for every single image I post. I’d rather have a daily post with all my images on Flickr that were taken on a particular day (or uploaded on a particular day). That makes much more sense for me.

So I went and created a new website for this: photobloggr.com. The layout kinda s***s, because it’s still kind of experimental. I’ll need to work on that. But the basic functions are there.
