Turns out the the </default1> only tags were caused by someone turning on "WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically" – Lloyd Budd, on July 26, 2009 20:00

A comment on the question "How do I find out about updates to TypePad's AtomAPI?" in Six Apart:

On further investigation, I don't know when this issue was introduced, because to fix author mapping we had recently re-imported the blogs.

Do you know of a know of an (open source) AtomPub client that can process the </default1> , so we can model our code after it? – Lloyd Budd, on July 20, 2009 21:30

I guess b/c of the space, the code was lost, it should be <default1 :em>Straw Dogs</default1> – Lloyd Budd, on July 20, 2009 17:54

Today, we discovered that your encoding for AtomPub appears to be broken -- it goes back to at June 16th. All html tags are encoded as <default1:>. For example, <default1:em>Straw Dogs</default1:em>.

We are noticing <default1>Straw Dogs</default1> meaning that the closing tag does not include the information about what tag is transformed. Also, not there is a space now between the tags which is also annoying.

We are trying to come up with a solution to work around this on our end.

Why is this? Seems like unnecessary, and causes a lot of extra processing.

Are you working on fixing this so a file extension is included? Starting on images uploaded June 1st, I'm seeing this consistently on all blogs that we're assisting people export.

We now how to retrieve the headers to find out the mime type

The file extension is an essential clue for desktop and other environments to know how to open files.

These are really big blogs. Any time I've tried to use the export function, it's stopped long before a complete export. – Lloyd Budd, on July 08, 2009 03:04

Problem 1 seems to be specific to this customer's template. Sorry, for that distracting detail.

We've adjusted to the other changes, but Problem 2: still no comments. Any help would be greatly appreciated. – Lloyd Budd, on June 25, 2009 04:26

After further debugging:
Problem 1 is RSD seem to be gone from blogs. Makes finding the atom endpoints extra fun -- won't this breaks many blog clients?!
Problem 2 still no comments.

It seems the change make it worse. Our AtomPub client is now getting no content. Do you have a working example client?

This is great news. Thank you!

Thanks for the timely response David. Really appreciate you keeping us posted on when this is fixed. Do you expect it to be resolved this week?

Thanks also for the suggestion for a possible work around. Unfortunately, it seems for these couple of customer's blogs that I've tried removing the .html and appending /comments/atom.xml from a permalink page don't seem to work. I'm guess they don't have those templates added, and I hate to mess around with their live sites.

Is there a feed to subscribe to where changes like those in IDs is shared? This sort of change can obviously have significant impact to AtomPub clients depending on how they are coded and the programming environment.

Back near the beginning of April, Typepad also changed the login mechanism breaking the TP web importer than a member of the WordPress community had been working on. Although, it was reasonable to resolve the issue. Knowing about it would have been very useful.

http://developer.typepad.com/ does not advertise a feed nor http://developer.typepad.com/apis/ato... , also http://developer.typepad.com/apis/ato... does not seem to be dated (nor it's change log).

Thanks again for all of your help.

How do I find out about updates to TypePad's AtomAPI?

TypePad seems to have updated the AtomPub implementation within the last few days. This has broken our client (an exporter). Where do you update customers on upcoming related changes to this API?

I searched on
http://everything.typepad.com/
http://developer.typepad.com/

Hmm, I'm not sure what I think I saw... thanks for the response. It would be great if there was a visual cue that the loved ones are on top.

Hi Amy,

That is helpful. Thank you.

Still confusing about "Find a [Topic] in [Get Satisfaction]" when company and product name's are similar or the same.

Still think it would be better if Get Satisfaction had the icon, and the beta did not. Glad to hear it will be cleared up soon.

Lloyd Budd replied on July 08, 2008 18:05 to the problem "2 Get Satisfactions?" in Get Satisfaction:

http://getsatisfaction.com/satisfaction
The 1st result is
http://getsatisfaction.com/satisfacti...
but if you look at all products there is the 4th item is
http://getsatisfaction.com/satisfacti...
has no image and the beta is the next one in the list.

Is awkward ;-)

Lloyd Budd reported a problem in Get Satisfaction on July 08, 2008 16:44:

2 Get Satisfactions?

Get Satisfaction Beta Release has an image and comes up beginning of product list, but Get Satisfaction does not. It's confusing to look in two places to see if someone has already had the same topic.

What about linking them?
