  Does anyone know whether it’s possible to change a setting somewhere so that only new posts, not edits to older posts, will show up on a feed reader such as Google Reader? I’m subscribed to my own blog on Google Reader just to see what others will see when I update, and I’ve noticed that every time I edit an old post for whatever reason, this shows up on the reader… and I’d rather it didn’t. If anyone knows how to change this (or if it’s even possible), let me know? Thanks in advance :)

  We are told that only the first time we publish our readers will receive our posts, but the Google reader apparently displaying posts again when we edit them. I’ll flag this thread for a Staff response.

  I appreciate it. My blog is kuroiyousei.wordpress.com, if that helps anyone.

  Unfortunately, we have no control over this.

  When a post is edited, it is marked in the feed as Updated to keep with the standards, but not most feed readers ignore Updated posts.

  Overall, we have no control over how external feed readers choose to operate.
