Trouble with feed of blogger.com

I spent last whole night with Blogger's feeds.

Blogger used to generate two feed files for me, one is in RSS format, the other ATOM. But two days ago, I found the two files turned to be the same, all ATOM format.

I have a cron job running on my site to generate index.html from the RSS feed file. This is done by a ruby script and ruby has no preinstall ATOM parser. So the script can't cope with ATOM feed file and my index.html is gone( I know the script should not remove the original index.html if it can't generate a new one. But ...).

After fighting with blogger's dashboard and asking for help on forum, I found a easy and straight way. Why not just transform the ATOM file into a RSS file. So here it is:

Now I added a step of xsltproc to do the transformation. If I don't make anything wrong, this post should show up on the frontpage tomorrow. Just wait and see:)
