Given everything else that is so automated in typepad, it’s a bit of an annoyance that when you switch from "Basic" to "Advanced" templates, as I have done here, you wind up without any RSS feeds that you have added to the sidebar. To restore those RSS feeds, you have to follow this procedure, which essentially amounts to "View the source of the old page and copy/paste into the new templates." Obviously, it works… but given how everything else gets carried across in the conversion, it’s puzzling that this one does not. Perhaps some day the Six Apart folks will make that work for TypePad. In the meantime, we’ll just "use the source, Luke".
