Question... does this look unedited?
I realize that I'm the worst self-editor in the world. It is nigh-impossible for me to see my own typos, because my brain just fills in what I meant. I KNOW what I meant to say.
So I fire off these little posts without rereading them, and while looking at my blog later, I see egregious mistakes, and then go back and edit them.
My question is posed to you all out there who use auto-readers, which collect posts from your favorite blogs for you to read in a digest daily: does your reader show the edited update, or does it show the original, typo-riddled post?
Here. We'll try an experiment. When I hit "publish" originally for this post, the word after this paragraph will say, in capital letters, "damaged." I will wait a few minutes, and edit it to read "fixed." Tell me what your reader shows you. Thanks.
FIXED

My RSS feed shows the original with the capitalized "DAMAGED" at the bottom
"Fixed".
Mine says FIXED.
google reader gave me the FIXED version. . .
Google Reader sez "FIXED".
Bloglines showed me the edited post.
Really enjoy your blog, by the way!
"Fixed", and only that version of the new post, if I understand you correctly.
I stopped re-reading my old posts, partially for that reason. I'd never finish, if I kept correcting all the errors...
FIXED for me.
I get the fixed version on Bloglines. At the top of the post, it says: "UPDATED 5 hr 42 min ago
POSTED 5 hr 59 min ago"
Now it show it as being "Fixed" with a repair time
Google reader shows "FIXED" with a time stamp of 1:29 PM.
I'm using google reader and it says fixed on my end.
Says "FIXED" in Google Reader.
JOe
google reader shows the updated version
Google Reader only shows the corrected version.
Eh, no one's reading anyway!! :BSEG:
No, really, mine shows FIXED and the time and date of the edit.
fixed
I use Bloglines.com to "collect" the blogs I want to read daily and the posts I have today from you, Mr. Matt G., says, "Fixed."
I hope that helps.
Says fixed for me. Using NetNewsWire
Google Reader showed me "FIXED".
My RSS reader (Ilium Newsbreak for Windows Mobile) is showing FIXED at the end ... but that may be due to the fact that it was edited so shortly after the inital posting.
If you want, adjust this entry again in a few days and let's see what happens. You can send me a private email at "ron dot king at gmail dot com" after you do it so I can see if I get a correction after the fact. I have some sites I follow that when an entry is edited it shows back up as unread later ... but that may be something related to the method the RSS feed is being built on the originator's side.

Shows as "fixed."
