well, i added my delicious subscription, which is an aggregation of bookmarks for mp3 blogs, http://del.icio.us/rss/subscriptions/rickdog
del.icio.us/rss/rsubscriptions/rickdog, and tagged it with mp3blog,music,sharity,and download, but i never get any content from that feed in feedhaus. i don't think things are working as advertised.
from the content that you provide for my tagged feed, all you do is display a standard flickr widget for the tagname, and column of youtube videos for the tagname, but nothing relating to the feed that i used the tag on.
you need a feedback page on feedhaus. when i view a tag page, the content is clipped on the right: http://www.feedhaus.com/history?action=articles&t=wired&time=1194567238000
sorry, this software is too buggy
Hi Rick,
Thanks a lot for your feedback on the feedhaus alpha! This is the perfect place to leave feedback, but we'll definitely consider your suggestion to have an explicit feedback page built into the site.
As for tagging and not seeing any posts from the feed . . . I think you may have already figured this out, but attached to each tag is a "filter" that filters out any posts that don't contain the tag in the title, description, URL or other metadata. We debated long and hard on this feature and found that it was better to apply the filter rather than not apply the filter and have the page show a bunch of content that's not relevant to the tag. One "trick" you can use to make sure your content always passes the filter is to tag your feed with a term that appears in the feed's title or other metadata -- then all posts will automatically pass the filter. Otherwise, they're subject to pretty aggressive filtering in order to keep the content relevant to the tag.
As for the clipping issue -- the content actually isn't clipped, it's scrollable (overflow: auto). However, the scrollbars only appear at the top and the bottom of the page, which make it appear as though the content is clipped.
We're currently aware of the issue and working on a fix for that. I think our approach will be to show the hidden content when you mouse over it. (BTW, this only happens when people put very wide images in their blog posts.)
As for your comment about the software being "too buggy" -- we are still in alpha (which comes even before beta), so we know we have some bugs, but thanks to the loads of feedback we've gotten, we're able to identify the problems and fix them before we go into beta and beyond.
Thanks again for the feedback -- we hope you'll come back and use the site once we get some of these issues resolved.
Best regards,
Chris
