Fixed feeds

Yesterday evening, when fooling around with the site, I made an unpleasant discovery: the feeds were not working correctly. You can probably imagine my horror, as I tried to follow the RSS link at the bottom of the journal page and got nothing.

After checking out that PHP code is really working, I noticed that WordPress sends out 304 status code (not modified) even for those browsers that haven’t requested anything yet.

This discovery led to WordPress bug database that had a ticket related to this problem. Somebody had fortunately solved the problem and there was a diff file.

Unfortunately either the diff or the patched file was broken or not in sync, and I had to apply the patch by hand. The feeds seem to be working properly now, but if you have any issues, please get in touch with me.
