RSS feed for the development blog

Hello again!

I have recently added the RSS feed for the blog to my feed reader and noticed that the articles aren't properly linked. All articles simply link to atomictorch.com (http://atomictorch.com) instead of atomictorch.com/Post/Id1065 (http://atomictorch.com/Post/Id1065) (as an example). Having a direct linkk would be especially nice when reading on my phone, where navigation is a bit cumbersome...

I think it is something on your end.
If you open the page https://atomictorch.com/Blog/RSS in your browser you will see that links are actually working properly.

Or am I missing something? Because I never use RSS so I wouldn't really know :)

Ah, after a bit of checking I think I've found the issue. You're using atom-formatted links, but you specify in the header that it's an RSS 2.0 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS) feed. While similar, those are not the same. The fix is rather trivial: most of the feed is actually perfectly well formatted as RSS 2.0, with the exception of the links.

So just change <link href="https://atomictorch.com/Post/Id1064"/> to this <link>https://atomictorch.com/Post/Id1064</link>

Side note: The reason I get every article linked to the main page is that the channel link is the only one that's formatted properly, so it falls back to it for the articles.

Ah. So that's what it was. We will fix that :)
