Sorry about the feeds

I’m aware that now that I’ve fixed my RSS feed reading issues, my writing patterns will likely change. I’m already feeling more inspired to blog. That will likely result in some new readers, and that’s great.
However I’m aware that my own RSS feed, the one for this website, is looking a bit weird at the minute. Actually the same issue appears on all the website’s feeds. I made some changes to the website last month. Much needed simplifications to the HTML. The website looks great, but there’s something odd happening with the HTML in the RSS feeds.
In the feed readers I’ve tested, the posts all seem to start with a bunch of the HTML tags showing. Normally that shouldn’t happen. I’ve already added some additional debug logging code in the static site generator. I would fix it now but I’ve run out of build minutes on Github this month. So it will have to be at the beginning of next month, i.e next year!
The feeds will look much better early next year once I’ve had time to fix the render bug. Until then just click through and read on the website, or just ignore the weird HTML tags at the start of each post. It’s December though, I think we can give the posts a pass for being a bit scruffy. Heaven knows I’m a bit scruffy at the minute too, but getting a bit better every day.
Sorry, please bear with me. #
