I just did a bit of repair work on my blog, fixing entries with foriegn characters that were breaking MT. MT was handling it OK, but the LJ cross posting plugin was puking on them. I had to replace the characters with proper HTML entities, then re-”save” several entries before MT would do a proper rebuild. I’d been frustrated by one entry that was blocking a site rebuild for months. I finally tracked it down.
Now that I’ve fixed all those entries, suddenly a bunch of OLD entries pop up on the syndicated RSS feed on LJ. Talk about dumb RSS feed software…
