If you saw a bunch of my old posts pop up in your feed reader as new or updated, they weren’t. I fixed an issue with post IDs, which obviously changed them, and many readers rely on that to identify unique posts, so it’s fair that they interpret this as new content.
Sorry. 😬
If you’ve already read those posts—or decided not to—mark them as read and carry on, and I’ll try not to do this again. (Yes, it also happened a few weeks ago due to a different change I made, but I promise I’m not just trying to trick you into (re-)reading my stuff.)
For the curious, I use post URLs as IDs, which is common practice, but had a bug duplicating the /blog fragment, like so:
<id>https://nkantar.com/blog//blog/2025/08/blaugust-survival-tips/</id>
Now that they’re fixed, they look like this:
<id>https://nkantar.com/blog/2025/08/blaugust-survival-tips/</id>
And the change from last month was removing the www. prefix/subdomain from what they used to look like:
<id>https://www.nkantar.com/blog//blog/2025/08/blaugust-survival-tips/</id>
That’s it. Riveting, I know.
