Webpage update: Musicians!

[shadesofmauve]

I've started adding some of my musician sketches to Skellington Art.

It's a fairly slow process, since I have to dig through sketchbooks to find sketches, scan them, and then edit them for web. There are about nine sketchbooks, and given that many of them are light graphite, a considerable amount of re-scanning involved. Oh, and I don't have a scanner.

There IS an RSS feed for SkellingtonArt.com! You can choose to see news, new art, or both. I think I'd need a paid account to make a feed people could follow on LJ, though.

Does anyone know whether feeds made by a paid account last indefinitely? I could buy a month worth of paid LJ use, set it up, then cancel, if the feed was still there.

It'll take an hour or so to propagate, usually.

Feeds do seem to be persistent. It used to be that you couldn't edit them after creation, even. But I think they've fixed that.

Thank you!

Can you make sure it's this feed - http://www.skellingtonart.com/rss-news.php?withimages&lang=en_US ?

It's the combined news and art one, rather than just art. I can't tell which one you did!

Ah, poo. It wouldn't let me alter it. So I created a second one that is the full feed, skellingtonart2.

The first one seems to be just your musician sketches.

I hate to harass you again, but is it possible to delete the first one and rename the second? (Or delete both and recreate the second). I don't know LJs limitations here, so if that's asking way too much, that's cool. It'd just be rockin' if the main one didn't have the #.

Crap!

This is what we should have done:

Oops...

Did you open a support request anyway? If you didn't, I will. Funny, who'd a thought we could read the instructions first? :P

Re: Here you go!

I have not yet opened the support request. I figured I should wait and follow your lead before doing anything more.

They're figuring it out. They deleted #2, but I don't think they fixed which feed it's actually pulling, so I just asked that. They were very prompt about it, far better than I expected.

Now I just need to figure out (from my end) why unpublished content is showing up.
