Blogger.com RSS Feed: “live bookmark error”

Fri, December 17, 2004 — Category: Personal

I have been getting an “live bookmark” error on my blog, which is published with Blogger.com software. The error message was “live bookmark failed to load” after I tried clicking the “Ad Live Bookmark for this pages feed” in FireFox 1.0. This stems from the fact that in the Blogger.com settings I did not have […]

After switching the Site Feed URL directive to www.chovy.com/atom.xml, the live bookmarks are now working. not even blogger.com tech support could figure this one out. I personally don’t think the tech support person has heard about FireFox yet ;-)

Also, make sure you have this tag in your blogger.com template inside the head section, otherwise aggregators won’t pick it up:

<$BlogSiteFeedLink$>

Greatly appreciated blog. I’ve been looking for an answer to this for a few days now. Funny how the forums or bloggers help files don’t have this type of documentation.
