A few RSS notes

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Mark Pilgram also has an Amphetadesk Bookmarklet that will let you subscribe to a site’s RSS feed in one click. That is assuming that the site supports RSS Autodiscovery, which is simple to setup. You just have to add the proper line of code to point to your RSS feed in your Meta tag area. For example, the code for my feed is:

“link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”Life of a One-man IT Department” href=”https://www.silver-mosquito-943229.hostingersite.com/blogger_rss.xml” /”

So you can subscribe to the feed for this blog, or the Child Abuse blog easily now. Yeah, I setup a feed over there as well, in hopes that it starts to grow. 🙂

Aggie, by the way, supports the Auto-discovery function as well, but there’s no bookmarklet, yet. That’ll probaby change by like tomorrow at the rate things keep moving. 🙂

    From Dennis “Think about it with me now: Summer—even with cargo shorts on, you look like a blooming idiot with a Pocket PC, your cell phone, accessories, and a wallet bulging out of various places. In winter, though, that’s not an issue. Everyone gets bulged up with a great lump of fleece and wool (called…
