META: The ROT13 link doesn't work if you're viewing the entry from someplace else (like LJ's feed), probably because it is relative, not absolute. The other link in the entry also doesn't work, and the category links don't show up in the feed at all.

Konrad: The relative links should now be fixed, and I think the feeds should also display category & tag information, but Bloglines hasn't refreshed it for me to check. Keep me posted?

The links are now absolute (on LJ), but each inserts a "2007/04/" after "weblog/". Checking the page source here, I see they're still relative; are you trying to cheat by adding that bit in the feed script? It actually may work if you leave off the year and month. Tags still aren't showing on LJ, but that's no big deal.

1) I'm not sure that LJ's feed has updated itself, because it's *always* done that;

2) Looking at the feeds themselves (see the sidebar links), the links are properly being output as absolute;

3) I installed a plugin that allows me to take the entries, with their relative links, have MT turn them into absolute links, and then output that in the syndication feeds.

Okay, LJ has updated and now the links all work. And then LJ decided to repost a bunch of your entries from earlier this year.

Yeah, that can't be helped; adding absolute links to the entries in the feeds modified the entries, and they were old enough that LJ thought they were new.
