I've often wondered why I seem to receive an article several times fron the same feed. By testing my own blog I found the answer: Any minor correction leads to a new feed as if the article was newly published.
Any ways around that? I'd really like to be able to correct a mistake whitout bothering my readers ...

Kim - When you refer to your feed, are you speaking of your RSS feed or of email notifications?

The RSS feed should and does automatically update itself when an article is modified. It will only update the published date in the RSS feed (for example, the <pubDate> element of an RSS 2.0 feed) if you check the Reset the publish time checkbox when you re-publish the article.

Email notifications should not be sent when an article is updated... Are you editing the article or deleting it and creating a new one? I just tested this; when I am subscribed to receive new article notifications, I only receive a notification for the initial article, and not every time the article is edited...

I'm speaking of RSS feed (I use News Gator in Outlook). And I don't reset the publish time when I change the content. I still get the modified article again after changes. What can be done?

Kim - I don't think anything can be done, that's the way it's supposed to work. When you update an article, the revised article will appear on the website and in your RSS feed. There is no way for us to both update the article and leave an old version of it in the RSS feed...

How Newsgator interprets the updated article as new, I really don't know. But I would assume if it interprets a changed article as new in your case, it does so for all other RSS feeds as well. So this seems more like an issue related to Newsgator...
