Enabling Atom 1.0 on Wordpress
Ok, so it’s about time I got around to offering some more helpful advice on how to enable Wordpress to use Atom 1.0. First off, there are the templates. Download the tar, pull out the wp-atom.php and wp-commentsatom.php and drop them into your wordpress folder (overwriting the Atom 0.3 template). You’ll likely want to make a few customizations of the templates if you want to associate feed icons and licenses with the feeds and entries.
The wp-atom.php template should just work as a drop in replacement to existing Atom 0.3 feed so you can either stop here or, go one step further and make the Atom 1.0 feed the default for your blog. I did this by editing my Wordpress template Header, removing all mentions of RSS and replacing the link alternate with <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title=" Atom Feed” href=”wp-atom.php” /<.
If you want to make your Atom feed the only option available for your blog, and you’re running on Apache, you can edit .htaccess to redirect requests for the RSS feeds to the Atom feed. I’ll post more on this later.
Once you get your Wordpress Atom 1.0 feed up and running, head over the Atom wiki and let folks know.
Update: I should have mentioned that the template I provided is targeted at PHP5. If you’re running PHP4, try this patch.

[…] Thanks to a post on snellspace.com, I have updated this blog to use Atom 1.0. Due to URL Rewriting, it isn’t quite valid, but that will be a simple fix. […]

[…] After having mucked yesterday with my WordPress to add threading to my Atom feed, I found there’s a better way. I’ve taken James Snell’s Atom 1.0 templates, fixed them up a little bit, and packaged them as a WordPress plugin (instead of uploading them directly into the WordPress install, which makes it hard to upgrade WordPress). Download here. Source here. […]

Andando avanti con lo sviluppo di Blog Validator, il prossimo passo sarà quello di inserire il controllo di validità dei feed.
