I think there's something wrong with Blogger...

This week I'm working on some updates to the projects pages I have on this site. Adding a few tweaks here and there and some minor cosmetics stuff.

One of the stuffs I'm adding are RSS/Atom feeds for the articles I write.

I don't use any fancy editor for the articles I write (I think I'm more like an old-fashioned kind of guy... sometimes I even use Notepad to write some simple HTML... but that's just me :-), so to add the feeds I need to create them myself.

Anyway, to do this I took a look at the Blogger-generated feeds.

Blogger gently provides each blog with two distinct feeds in RSS and Atom formats, as you can see on the picture. And that's what I wanted to add to my articles.

For this blog the address for the feeds are:

• Atom: https://pjondevelopment.50webs.com/blog/atom.xml
• RSS: https://pjondevelopment.50webs.com/blog/rss.xml

As you can see two very distinct files, automatically generated for each entry I write on Blogger.

Or are they?

I'm a curious guy, so I downloaded both files from the website and here are the first lines for each file:

RSS:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<feed
   xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'
   xmlns:openSearch='https://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/'>
   <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19732699</id>
   <updated>2007-10-18T21:53:47.346-03:00</updated>
   <title type="'text'">PJ on Development</title>
   <link
      rel='alternate'
      type='text/html'
      href='https://pjondevelopment.50webs.com/blog/'/>

Atom:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<feed
   xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'
   xmlns:openSearch='https://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/'>
   <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19732699</id>

   <link
      rel='alternate'
      type='text/html'
      href='https://pjondevelopment.50webs.com/blog/'/>

It's just me or both files are one and the same?

Yes, I've checked the files physically, they are saved in TWO different files. However, the RSS file has the wrong contents.

You can attest this by yourself, just download the files at the links provided and compare.
