    Spectator blogs don't know what day it is

    I mentioned yesterday that The Spectator magazine had started its blogging efforts by ‘buying in’ a couple of existing blogs. But there’s something very odd with their technology: if I look at the RSS feeds for the two guest blogs (Stephen Pollard and Clive Davis), both are showing all items as having been published on 5 May 2007. Check your calendars, folks… that’s tomorrow. The Coffee House blog’s feed avoids the problem, by having no dates whatsoever.

    (All the feeds have a curious ‘rss.txml’ filename, which I’ve never seen, and no ‘generator’ tag to identify the publishing system being used. Anyone recognise it?)

      Looks like they’ve now fixed this… but a very odd thing to happen. What kind of blog configuration can they be using?
