The blog software I'm using for this blog is called dasBlog. It does most things quite well, it's a .NET thingie, and it is completely and totally free. Overall, I like it.

However, one thing I can't figure out is the application of content filters to RSS feeds. That is, in the post on Public Prayer, I've got some Bible references. I think it's handy to enable such things as links, so I used dasBlog's content filter feature to do this. In other words, instead of just typing “Jn 17” and manually adding a hard link with the HTML <a> tag, I created a macro (used $esv (Jn 17) ) and am then using a content filter to convert that into the necessary HTML (e.g. Jn 17).

But this doesn't work in the RSS feed, so y'all reading only by RSS end up seeing the underlying macro. I've checked the option that seems like it should convert that in the RSS feed, but it doesn't. C'est la vie. You'll need to go to the site (CTRL+S to go to the current item in SharpReader, folks) to get, as Dave Kaplan would put it, “the full flavor of the pringle”.
