Yep, that's how it's being done right now. 
I figured it's not often that people go back and modify their old blog posts. But we'll reconsider it if there is demand in this area.

One simple way to do this would be to store the original rss url if you haven't already done that. And authors should have a button that says [refresh] and it can go and re-fetch the updated content.
Thanks for the good work on this though.

Thanks Nishant.
How would you define the original URL vs the paged ones? It can't simply end before query strings. Really not sure this is quite worth it yet. Let's give it some time.
We've considered refresh buttons but this could easily be abused. At the moment your blog gets polled every hour (or at least that's what Chris told me he had it set to). That's pretty frequent .

So do I have to create my own rss in a format your aggregator can consume? I am asking this again because I don't have a space of my own to host my blog; I mostly use free services like blogspot, windows live, etc.
Is it still possible for me to tailor the rss somehow? Or there must be some rss tailoring websites around...if you do know, plz let me know.

All we're looking for is a <category>codeproject</category> tag at the root of your RSS feed or for the individual blog entries you'd like us to consume. If you're unable to modify your feed through your service - whether it be blogspot, feed burner or whatever - we can simply consume all your blog entries without the presence of this tag.
So no you don't have to tailor your RSS feed specially for us. Just decorate it with a codeproject category.

Just another of my crazy ideas...
It would be really nice if CP could promote the works of those members who have written books on programming. For example, I bought Rama's book on ASP.Net Ajax (haven't actually read it, mind) because I was browsing the Manning site and saw his name come up. Similarly, I bought Christopher Duncan's books just because I vaguely "know" him via CP. Who else am I missing out on?
Of course, it'd be great if CP could start selling these books and perhaps even moving into paper publishing ("The best Code Project articles 2009", anyone, anyone?), but I'd love to have a page that lists the books my fellow CPians have written.
print "http://www.codeproject.com".toURL().text
Ain't that Groovy?

Have you ever thought of allowing the author of an article to place a donation link on the page. You could do it like sourceforge and provide a button template that allows making a donation. A user defined percentage of every donation could be used to support CodeProject directly.

This idea comes up every now and then. See this[^] post and all the replies.

when attempting to load the C# forum. It was fine when I retried a minute later. Are you still thumping servers?

I'm writing a new article about the VList data structure at
VList data structures in C#[^]
The article isn't supposed to be public yet. When I last tried to update the text of it, I got an error message about a folder being deleted, or maybe it was unable to create a folder--sorry I didn't save the text of the message. Anyway, I tried to save it again and it failed again. Then I went to "My Articles" and the article was listed as deleted, so I clicked the restore button. After that I was not able to access the article for a minute, but I soon tried again and was able to view it. When I clicked "Modify", I was shown the file upload page, but when I tried to upload four files I got the following error message:
Unable to save the file on Web09.Unable to save the file on Web09.Unable to save the file on Web09.Unable to save the file on Web09. - please try again or press next to continue
Help? Thanks!

Nope, I just tried to upload 5 files:

Hmm, actually there are indications the files may have been uploaded after all..... stay tuned.

On that page it says:
Who will my job posting reach?
Code Project is a worldwide software development community with more than 5.3 million members.
Shouldn't that be more than 6 million now?
(Did I tell you already that I'm bored )

6 million is more than 5.3 million.

The Buzzword Hall of Shame only shows 1 post while it states that there are 278 in the forum
Msgs 1 to 1 of 1 (Total in Forum: 278)
Tested it in IE / FF / chrome, all the same.
Refresh / F5 / ctrl+F5 doesn't change anything.
Not really a site breaking bug but I was bored so was going over the forums 
[EDIT]Thanks to dan solved (date filter) [/EDIT]
