i'm playing w pulpfiction and the feeds off of typepad are much more useful than those off generic mt installs. which i eventaully realized was because they were full atom feeds not just rss snippets. and so i found this article on atom for mt. at first glance doesn't look like i can upg to MT 2.65 anymore, so i just removed the MTIfNonEmpty tags and crossed my fingers. suspect the absence of the MTEntryModifiedDate tag is gonna mess me up, tho.
