Some Overdue Updates
This is an announcement for you readers who follow Jewschool through our RSS feed. Tomorrow afternoon, we’re going to be changing a few settings on how the feed is published, with the result that its location will change. Â There are a bunch of reasons for making these changes, like that we’ll now be able to offer per-author and per-category feeds, but what it means for you is this: once we update those settings, the next time you try to access the feed, you’ll see that it’s empty except for a single article, which will give you the new location. Â This bears repeating: if you don’t switch your subscription over to that new location, you will not get Jewschool posts through RSS. Â The placeholder item will remain in place for 30 days, at which point the old feed address will cease to function altogether.
Let us know in the comments if you have any questions. Â It should be a pretty painless switch.
Thanks!
By chance, could someone with a paid Livejournal account update Jewschool’s feed there?
Thanks.

@catspeakinglitvish, we’ll put in a request to LJ to update the LJ syndication. Thanks for the head’s up.

[...] The switchover is complete. Â A slight change in expected behavior: the old feed automatically redirects to the new one. Â So if you’re subscribed to the old feed, you’re going to keep getting updates for the next 30 days, rather than what we had originally written about a placeholder article. Â Please change your RSS subscription to point to: jewschool.com/feed, because after 30 days, the old one won’t redirect anymore, it’ll just stop working. [...]

I signed up for the new feed, but I’m no longer getting whole posts (rather, just titles) in my RSS Reader (Google Reader). Is this a SNAFU or a permanent change? Thanks.
