Never Enough Feed Guidance Department

The biggest problem with RSS/Atom newsfeeds is that, once you submit an article, you cannot hope to make last-minute changes that nobody will notice.

Does anyone have suggestions for dealing with duplicate feed entries, aside from creating a draft and not submitting it until I'm perfectly happy with it? I know, it's not professional to do otherwise, but like I have said before: I'm just like the pros--only less so.

are you kidding? Can't you just rewrite the post. I do it all the time, and it doesn't double post to the rss, only changes the text of the actual post.

Perhaps I don't understand.

Let me try something...

something's wrong with google so I can't do my experiment. Maybe later.

All right, I experimented, and I can't see where you might have a problem. Edited posts don't refeed. Am I stupid? Am I misunderstanding you?
