Hi folks. The Google Reader copy of my feed (http://
sticklebackplastic.com/rss.ashx) contains duplicate items.
Is there any way to prevent duplicates being created, and to delete
the existing duplicates, please?
I've ensured that my feed validates, and looking at the history of the
feed (http://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed%2Fhttp%3A%2F %2Fsticklebackplastic.com%2FRss.ashx?r=n&n=100) I can see the
duplicate items appear identical to me, including having the same ID
and update time, but they have different gr:id values, and when viewed
as a subscription, has a different published times.
Hmm... I look a look at your feed and didn't see any duplicate items.
Are you still experiencing this problem? Instinctively, I speculate
the problem is probably that your blogging software is assigning new
<guid> tags to updates you make on previously posted articles, thus
causing Reader to treat them as new entires. Could this be the issue
you're experiencing?
Hi Roger. Unfortunately, it's definitely not my blog software
outputting different guid tags. If you take a look at the url I
originally posted (you need to be already authenticated with GR
first), you can see duplicate items.
I made a post on 21 March 2008 called "Reinventing LINQ". My guid for
that item is "http://sticklebackplastic.com//2008/3/21/Reinventing +LINQ.aspx" and hasn't changed since it was posted. Google Reader has
two items listed for this. Looking at the feed returned from GR
(http://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed%2Fhttp%3A%2F %2Fsticklebackplastic.com%2FRss.ashx?r=n&n=100) I can see that the two
items have the same original guid, the same published and updated
timestamps (21 March) and the same content. But they have different
Google Reader ids. One is "tag:google.com,2005:reader/item/
f93c9c6be5fa4c9c" and the other is "tag:google.com,2005:reader/item/
c25a2e98f93d2abe".
Looking at the feed as a subscription in GR, if I switch to List View,
I can see the duplicate items. My original "Reinventing LINQ" post is
dated March 21, while the duplicate is dated April 7. (And I have a
bunch of other duplicate items dated April 7)
