If Your Feed Reader Is Full of “New” Posts
I confirmed my theory from the comments here: Only the WordPress.com feed is spammy. People who subscribed using the Feedburner links (email or rss) at the top of my sidebar are not getting flooded with “new” old posts. But if, like me, you just pasted the blog URL into Google Reader and let it find the rss link, you probably have the unprocessed WordPress.com feed — which has been flooded with junk lately, as I’ve edited my way through ancient history.
Since I have nearly 600 posts to work through, cleaning up old links and checking for dust bunnies, there will be plenty more of the “spam” coming your way. If it’s been bothering you, you might want to consider switching your blog reader to the Feedburner-processed rss feed.
