# Oops!

[_.net Weblogs Archive_](http://dotnetweblogs.com/Jezell/posts/4891.aspx)

_I missed a post for the last time... Ever saw a post about a day ago on the dotnetweblogs.com home page and then it dissapears and you have no idea who posted it? Wish that other bloggers showed on that page too (like_ [_Don_](http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/dbox/) _or_ [_Clemens_](http://radio.weblogs.com/0108971)_)? Well, I did and I do and rather than dreaming of what could be, I decided to do something about it. Here is the result of a few hours of early morning work:_

[_http://www.activehead.com/DotNetWeblogs_](http://www.activehead.com/DotNetWeblogs)

_Some cool features behind the scenese, like adding metadata to the RSS that I am getting. Had to put in some special cases for bloggers like Don that don't use a pubDate tag (luckily, the guid tag the gotdotnet guys are using contains a date, so I can parse out that and move it into the pubDate tag) and those that don't have a dc:creator tag._

_If you just want the feed, you can get it at_ [_http://www.activehead.com/DotNetWeblogs/rss/rss.xml_](http://www.activehead.com/DotNetWeblogs/rss/rss.xml)

_If I am missing some of your favorite .NET feeds (which I know is the case), feel free to add them to the feed list!_

Great idea, although i don't see a 'search' link up there? is that the general idea? Plus - I stupidly added a link to this blog on there - and not to the RSS link either - to the actual web site of the blog . I know, stupid me. So i went ahhead a posted this blog with its RSS link. Only then do i discover that Feeds on DotNetWeblogs are automatically archived." erm. **oops**! **sorry**. So now i have two links up there ;) \*shy smile\*.Guess I should have RTFM..... sorry about that.
