So I figured I’d combine the testing of my newly upgrade Wordpress 2.7 install with a blazingly interesting blog post. OK, maybe blazingly interesting could be applied to many things none of which include the post you are now reading. Regardless, I type on….
I recently discovered that Craigslist’s rss feeds leave much to be desired in terms of well formed xml. A large portion of the AdRavage back-end magic works by parsing the rss results of searches, and the bulk of this is achieved through Magpie RSS.

After what seemed like the longest weekend of my entire life – packing, loading, moving, unloading, unpacking, sleeping – we have reached probably 80% completion on our move.
