If you’re reading via BlogLines or another RSS aggregator, you may have noticed a bug where old posts would appear as new whenever a new post was created. This was pointed out to me today and has been fixed. The problem was in the flash video embed plugin I’m using. It generates a random id for the swf and the div the swf is written into which caused the HTML to look different to BlogLines, so it marked posts as new. I’ve switched to using a deterministic id so this should be resolved.

Update: well, it will look broken for this post because all the ids changed again. Hopefully, the next new post will work as expected.
