Suddenly Feel Like I've Been Wallpapered Over...

[Tacitus]

Is there something up with the Universe Today RSS Feed? For the last few days I've had to trawl through dozens of posts that contain nothing more than pictures --- admittedly very pretty pictures --- of various heavenly bodies (no not *that* kind of heavenly body, get your mind out of the gutter!).

It would seem like wallpaper overload, and gets in the way of reading the news stories in the feed.

I don't see them on the site now, so is this some glitch with the recent redesign?

Was starting to think it was just me

Could maybe do with a separate "nothing but images" feed is this is to go on, and isn't an error.

Tap tap, is this thing on?

Got another boatload of wallpaper posts in my RSS feed again today, many of them duplicates. There is definitely something up with the RSS feed after the recent redesign. Regular posts seem to be fine, but I got 10 wallpaper posts this morning.

If this isn't the right place for UT site feedback, then please point me to the correct place.

I think you're subscribed to the wrong RSS feed for Universe Today.

You should be subscribed to http://www.universetoday.com/universetoday.xml

When we did the redesign, the designer forgot to put in the official RSS feed, and used the default Wordpress one.

Thanks Fraser. Seemed odd since I've had the same feed in Google Reader for a couple of years. Thanks for your help.

Same here. Ah well, thanks for the info.
