So, if you hit the <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/slakethirst/cocktails" title="Cocktails Feed" rel="nofollow">Cocktails Feed</a> with IE or Firefox now, it will render it in html, instead of barking about not grokking the format, but if you sub with an app that understands flavors of Atom or RSS, you'll get one of those instead.

There's no problem that I can find... your comments <em>did</em> show up -- there are a few spam filters applied, so it might take more than 30 seconds. I've never timed it. Re: the RSS feed, it seems to be working for me. You do need an application capable of interpreting RSS feeds, however. I'm a Mac user, and Safari 2.0 is sufficient to my RSS needs. I don't know from the Windows side of RSS, but <a href="http://email.about.com/cs/rssfeedreaders/tp/top_rss_windows.htm" title="About.com: Top 10 RSS Readers" rel="nofollow">here is a list of 10 well-reviewed feed readers for Windows</a>.

I'm new here. And I bumped into the blog as the result of a Google search on "Falernum." Just wanted to let you know that I clicked on the "the RSS Feed for the Cocktails category" link and was taken to nowhere. I'm told that the page does not exist. I'm not too familiar with the RSS thing. Is there some other way I'm supposed to access the feed? Great blog overall, though. I might just plow my way through the Non-Cocktail related content and find some stuff I like a lot. Thanks Okay. I’m new here.
