Being a bit of a geek, I spent an hour or so yesterday setting up an RSS feed for the weblog. It’s something I have been meaning to do for ages now, and although I’ve got a few little things still to iron out, it does validate, and there’s a link on the left if you want to pick it up for your RSS reader of choice. Please let me know if you notice any problems with it and I will try to sort them out.
For those of you who don’t know what RSS is, Ben’s description is pretty good. As he says, it’s a way of wasting time on the InterWebNet really efficiently: You download a special “reader” application (and there are many free ones to choose from), or choose a web-based service (like www.bloglines.com), point it at the RSS feeds from all the sites you like that have them, and, er, that’s it. The reader software automatically checks the sites and tells you when they have been updated, so you don’t have to keep clicking refresh.
