Read the feed on your Palm

Finally got it working so I can read a blogspot.com blog on my Palm using the free http://www.avantgo.com software

One trick was to use "Create RSS Channel" and to add "?alt=rss" to the end of the feed URL.

Feed URL: http://mrdolomite.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

AvantGo Feed URL: http://mrdolomite.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

The other trick was to change some of the settings under "Channel Size". I probably could have decreased the size and/or the link depth, but I was getting frustrated so I just hit it with a great big hammer and it worked. :)

Maximum Channel Size: 520 k
Link Depth: 4
Follow Off-Site Links: Yes
Include Images: Yes
