Waldo, I love your blog, but please … pretty please, with a cherry on top … fix your RSS feed.
The linkblog-style entries and their RSS items should have a link to the actual destination instead of (or in addition to) the permalink to the individual archive.
This isn’t just an RSS issue — if you arrive here via Google or the like, you can’t see how to get to the site that has the comics.
As you know, since it’s not just an RSS issue, so there are a few files that need modification. I’d hacked up WordPress’ code when working on it a few weeks ago, but then I upgraded, and so that all went to hell. I think I need to write a full plug-in, but I know nada about WordPress’ plug-in architecture.
I’d think that somebody would have solved this for WordPress already. Linklogs are pretty common.
Yeah, I’m not demanding you change everythign *right now* or somesuch.
I’m just making a feature request, for when you have time.

No, you’re quite right, it needs to happen.
