Deleted Posts, Too The Spider Web Log Feed

Occasionally, a bewildered weblog possessor volition write into Blogger Help Forum: How Do I?, in addition to ask

How produce I completely take a post? I deleted a post - but my readers yet could read it, inward Google Reader!

Some owners are non clear virtually the nature of post deletion, in addition to the weblog feed.

One of the solutions for recovering a deleted post is to remember it from Google Reader. Even if yous accept non subscribed to the weblog feed, yous can, at whatever time, subscribe, in addition to remember the text content of whatever previously published post. This solution plant because in i lawsuit published, a post volition stay inward the weblog feed for eternity.

Until the post is published, it's inward Draft status. As shortly equally the post is published, the published re-create goes into the weblog feed. If yous right away revert the post to draft status, the post disappears from the weblog primary page (subject to clearing browser cache) - but in i lawsuit published, the post remains cached inward the feed.

As long equally the weblog exists, in addition to the weblog feed exists (the weblog remains public, in addition to the feed is enabled), all previously published posts volition stay cached inward the weblog feed. It may hold upwards possible to reset the weblog feed - though both of these solutions should hold upwards examined carefully - for how your existing readers powerfulness hold upwards affected.

• Make a somebody blog, fifty-fifty momentarily. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 somebody weblog does non pose out a feed.
• Turn off the feed, explicitly, momentarily.

Depending upon local caches of feed content, the weblog feed may, or may not, hold upwards reset for everybody, alongside either procedure.

This is both good, in addition to bad - but it is only something that yous can't change, easily.
