Bookmarklets and Discovery

Bookmarklet is a convenient button in your toolbar that allows you to subscribe to a blog or bookmark a favorite site with one click.

Combined with the powerful Feed Auto-discovery feature recently added, it is a walk in the park to surf the web and subscribe/bookmark as many blogs and sites as you want.

You don't need to deal with the RSS/ATOM stuff anymore.
We do the dirty work for you.

Just point your browser to Slashdot.org (or any other site of your choice) and we will discover the feed and add it to t3h Blox0r.

All the information you need is clearly explained here:

Enjoy!

Temporary Fix

We switched back to one-by-one feed refreshing.
It is slower than the 'multipart' version since we have to request one refresh per feed, and the server has to authenticate and open data connections on a per request basis.

I know, it sucks, but it is better than an unresponsive UI, so, stick with us til we know what the cause of the 'multipart' bug is.

Output_buffering maybe the culprit, hmm.

Refreshing ain't working

I have noticed lately that refreshing all feeds doesn't update the list as it used to.
It waits until the last feed is refreshed to update any blog status.
We haven't updated any code in the last weeks.
Could it be a change on the server side by our hosting company that we are unaware of?
Hmm, absolutely no idea.

WTF?
