You are apparently designing on a monitor with the gamma set incorrectly (or just too darn dark). It is apparent that you wanted the background on your LOGO image to match the page background.

It doesn’t and so it looks a bit silly. Change the color value in your layout.css for the body background to #323855 to correct the problem.

No charge.

Sorry about that Bob, hang tight, the Bloglines import issue should be fixed in the next couple of days.

If you could, email the offending OPML file to me: nathan d0t bowers at newshutch d0t com. This will aid us in testing.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi guys,

It seems that this feed reader is going to be the one for me (i had been looking to a decent one for 4 years now!). But it seems that i cannot upload properly my Bloglines OPML file for my subscription… any clue? I have the “Application Error (Rails)” meesage. FRUSTRATING!!!!!

Nathan,
I the resurfacing of feeds seems to happen a lot. I’ll try and pay more attention to which ones it is happening to and report back here.

Scott,

Can you give me an example of a feed where you’ve seen read items resurfacing? I think I’ve seen this once or twice. It could be that a site’s feed file or TTL is updated even though the content is the same.

If you’re on a Mac try Command + page up/page down to jump to top or bottom. On Windows, try CTRL + Home/End.

Since every computer might have different fonts installed, I can only tell you the order in which we specify fonts. If the first one isn’t available, the next one might be, and so on. From the style sheet:

font-family: “Lucida Sans Unicode”, “Bitstream Vera Sans”, “Trebuchet Unicode MS”, “Lucida Grande”, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height: 130%;

I’ve notice as I use this more and more 2 things:

1. Seems like thing’s I’ve marked as read resurface every once in a while. Haven’t really figured out when it occurs.

2. On long articles I love the ‘open next’ links except sometimes I don’t want to go to the next one and a little ‘back to top’ icon would be cool so I could get to my feed list. Something unobrtusive like a small up-arrow.

What fonts, size and spacing are you using for the article text? They are very readable and I’d love to change my blog template.

Thank you VERY much for the browser button. Got the add feed funtion to work nicely with the Firefox Livelines extension. I’m stoked. Absolutely great service you have here.

Loving the new features (especially the Keep as Unread!)

Rock on,
