RSS Problems fixed?

Had a bit of a problem with my rss feed after moving my blog from one folder to another. Also worried I’ve wrecked some links on other people’s websites (although I’m kind of kidding myself, thinking that other people read this blog — heh). I found an interim solution to the rss feed by running a little cron job which copies the existing .xml file from one folder to another every half hour. The updates may not appear to by synchronous, but I’m sure no one even reads, let alone checks every half hour. I’ll notice the difference since I’m subscribed to both feeds through BlogLines but that’s just me.
So this post is sort of a little test to see if my new template takes care of the time offsets in my posts, and if my cron job updates both feeds.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
