=== Feed Pauser === Contributors: keithdsouza Donate link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=keithdsouza@msn.com¤cy_code=&amount=&return=&item_name=WordPress+Plugin+Development+Donation+Feed+Pauser Tags: feed, rss, atom, pause feeds Requires at least: 2.5 Tested up to: 2.7.1 Stable tag: 1.0 Feed Pauser allows you to delay the publishing of RSS feeds after you have published a post, in addition to this you can also disable certain posts from appearing in the feeds == Description == Feed Pauser is a plugin I wrote to address a issue I have been facing for a long time, the option to delay publishing a post to a feed. Feed pauser, pauses a post from being made available through RSS. The reason was that several times, I would have made some mistakes in the post gramatically, spellings or even added a wrong link, with instant feed publishing the readers who already received the feeds may see wrong data, which can be avoided if we have a option to pause the feed for a certain amount of time. In addition to that when you apply styles to WordPress a test post is published which looks bad when your RSS readers see it, this can easily be avoided with a delay between publishing a post to your site and it being available through your feed. The newer version of Feed Pauser also allows users to disable individual posts from appearing in feeds.
