Excessive

After eating supper and watching an episode of Criminal Minds, I sat back down and decided to give RSS 2.0 a shot, because RSS 0.9 and Atom feeds didn't quite work as I had hoped. I simply went to a website that used RSS 2.0 for their feed, downloaded their XML file and looked at how they did it.

About ten minutes later, I had finished the formatting for the feed, and just had to script it into my already existing PHP as an include function. After that was finished, I just had it automatically create the RSS xml file whenever an entry was added or deleted.

If you're using Firefox or Safari, an RSS icon should appear in the address bar now, which you can use to add that feed to your browser. If you use an RSS reader, you can simply drag and drop the following link, or copy and paste it in:

rss.xml

There is also a link on the menu to the RSS feed that you can copy or drag into your reader at any time.

If you are unsure of what RSS is... well, that's a whole other entry.
