Atom 1.0 feed support now available using Grouper
CaRP users wishing to publish Atom 0.3 feeds on their websites have long had the option of using Grouper to convert them to RSS so that CaRP can read them. As of today, Atom 1.0 feeds can also be converted by Grouper.
The Atom 1.0 format specification is essentially a few bureaucratic steps from getting the official IETF stamp of approval, and any changes that may be made to the document are unlikely to affect the format. Some of the other people involved in the effort to create the specification have already started publishing feeds in the new format, and once everything is official, more and larger publishers should start switching from Atom 0.3 to Atom 1.0 quickly, so it's time for consuming applications to start supporting it.

I used Carp to display my blog feed: http://designdeclutterorganizing.blogspot.com/atom.xml and it is not working. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Tom

You'll need to convert the Atom feed to RSS using Grouper Evolution or some similar script before CaRP will be able to display it.
