mental_floss Rejoices at return of full RSS Feeds
by Mangesh & Jason - July 29, 2008 - 4:32 PM

Picture 113.pngFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. Birmingham, ALA. Today, at 4:15pm EST, the editorial board of mental_floss magazine kept their promise to  readers and turned their blog’s RSS feed back to full blast. The feed had been temporarily disabled due to hacking issues. The gushing stream of full RSS stories hitting inboxes around the nation was quickly followed by cheers heard across America, and the popping of champagne corks distribution of celebratory juice boxes around the magazine’s headquarters.
“This is a great day for mental_floss and this is a great day for our readers!” exclaimed a triumphant Will Pearson, President of the company. “But mostly this is a great day for mental_floss.” The comment was nearly drowned out by the thunderous sounds of high-fiving and back patting taking place.

Readers interested in subscribing to the mental_floss’ RSS feeds can do so by clicking on the RSS button within the Site Tools box, generally located above the dreamy personal of the day.

  9. Excellent news, thanks for sorting it out. The truncated non-formatted feeds were a test to my loyalty. I’m pleased for myself that I lasted

  16. You know? I think that you might want to offer both feeds, or perhaps even multiple feeds (I’m thinking of a feed for the individual bloggers / columns, perhaps). I say this because while reading the full feed is nice at home, reading the full feed at work, when there are people looking over my shoulder … not so much.

    But I’d rather have the full than the abbreviated, so don’t go back on my account. ;)

  17. Thank you so much! I was really missing my full dose of Mental Floss.

  18. Horray! I’m glad you decided to go back instead of keep the abbreviated feeds. I actually tend to unsubcribe if I can’t get the whole story.

  19. THANK YOU!

    I’ll admit, I’ve got a glutted backlog of Flossy_bits to read, but when I was doing the first round of triage (ooh, save that, save that, eh).. finding summary posts broke my heart! This is made of awesome – thanks again.
