# The good news is that the RSS feed for "On this day..." works fine, it is recreated successfully every morning as planned. The bad news is that Feedbin doesn't want to load the old posts.
Brent Simmons' Evergreen doesn't seem to be so fussy, loading all of the old posts without problem.
I think I might drop Feedbin support an email.

# Ben Ubois, the guy behind FeedBin, got back to me earlier today advising that the reader doesn't mark items older than two months as unread. This is to prevent issues with "misbehaving" feeds. To alter it for an edge case like mine would likely cause all manner of issues elsewhere.
He came up with a workaround (which I really should have thought of myself) of making the published date in the feed "today" and then including the original date in the item content.
First signs are positive so I'll check it on a test page and, if all is good overnight, switch the revised code in tomorrow.
How's that for customer service!
@colinwalker Colin, you should consider removing your Now link at the bottom. To be accurate you'd be needing to update it constantly! When I looked it was pointing to a Dec 2017 update
That’s my bad. It’s up to date but I just forgot to change the date. Thanks for pointing it out.
@Ron And when I did update the date last I got it completely wrong ?
@colinwalker Ohhh my. I know you work hard to get things right on your blog. It sounds like things suddenly got complicated. Sorry about that, as you were. Ha ha. :)
