I've just found and fixed a subtle problem with typo blog. One of my readers complained that now and again, all entries in my feed would show up as "new" even though they had been read. It turned out to be a misconfiguration of my server: I was serving the same content as both http://happygiraffe.net/ and http://www.happygiraffe.net/. The trouble was that when I posted a new entry, the first person to access the feed would decide which URL was stored in the cached feed. So all my guids changed from one domain to another.
I've fixed this configuration for now with some heavy handed application of mod_rewrite. But I was wondering -- should typo store the URL for the blog inside itself and use that for URL generation? I took a brief look and saw that it all boils down to Rails' url_for being called from inside article_url(). Would it be reasonable to always specify a :hostname part using another setting? That would avoid gratuitous guid changes...
