rss

ok. trying to make an rss feed of the latest total number of accounts on LJ.

this count is on the homepage.

i'll be grabbing the number from there, repackaging it, and sending the data back as rss.

i've got that part down.

next trick is being able to tell rss readers to keep the entries that they do have and add a new entry with the new information.

i keep track of the last count retrieved. and the date used for lastBuildDate and pubDate is the "last modified time" of the text file in which i store said count.

this is apparently not good enough to generate a new entry to a feedreader. instead, they edit the existing entry. which is not my intended behavior.

help?

question
