Businesses in Athens, Ohio, start blogging!

athensi.com includes a business blog section now, which means that area businesses can reach their customers on athensi.com through a free blogging service such as wordpress or blogspot. If you start up a blog for your business, send Bob Stewart (stewartr@ohio.edu) the address of your blog and he'll add it to athensi.com's business blogs.

NOTE: to find the business section scroll down to the bottom of athensi.com. If more businesses start feeding their rss feeds to athensi.com, we'll move that section up.

To bloggers on blogspot: please fix your site feed

Hey folks, if you're using blogspot for a blog that's included on athensi.com, please help us out by making the following fix:

1. select "Settings" for the blog
2. select the tab labeled "Site Feed"
3. switch to Advanced Mode
4. change the settings for "Blog Comment Feed" and "Per-Post Comment Feeds" to "None"

What this "fix" will do is prevent your blog from sending out rss notices for comments made on your blog. This doesn't mean you can't have a notice sent to your own email when a comment is made. It just prevents an rss notice from being sent out. For some reason, those notices appear on athensi.com as "empty" messages, which are confusing to folks.

thanks...
