atom/rss quickfix, CI to auto-test rss/atom correctness, and misc improvements
Blog post refinements and RSS feed validation
Changes
Blog post improvements:
- Better URL slug: Added descriptive slug with redirect from old short URL for improved SEO
- Updated timestamp: Changed post time from 13:59:59 to 23:59:59
- Clarified pgBackRest purpose: Added explanation that pgBackRest is primarily a backup tool being repurposed for replica creation
- Removed Credit paragraph: Cleaned up redundant credit section (Maxim remains as co-author in frontmatter)
RSS/Atom feed fixes:
- Added automated feed validation to CI: New validate_feeds job runs before build/deploy
- Validates XML syntax for rss.xml and atom.xml using xmllint
- Validates JSON syntax for feed.json using jq
- Saves failed feeds as artifacts for debugging
- Fixed XML parsing errors: Changed tag "Guides & best practices" to "Guides and best practices"
- Unescaped ampersands in tag names were causing xmlParseEntityRef errors in Atom feed
Benefits
- Better SEO with descriptive URL containing keywords
- Prevents broken feeds through CI validation before production
- No breaking changes: old URL redirects to new one automatically
- Cleaner content with removed redundant information
