Let’s get up and Atom

[Or, ‘More waffle about feeds‘]

Just a small change, but observant readers might have spotted it: the link for our RSS feed is now down at the bottom of the page. It’s never been our main source of traffic, but if you want the link, there it is.

I also decided to go back to Blogsome’s own feed service. It works fine, so why not? And, in any case, Feedburner has seemed to be getting slower and slower every time I tried to log in (i.e., not very often but often enough to notice how slow it was).

All of this might mean nothing to you. Trouble is, RSS feeds (and their little cousins, Atom feeds) seem to be beyond most people’s understanding, certainly those in the UK. If you read lots of blogs, feeds are so convenient I don’t know how anyone manages without them. So, is it possible to educate the British public about the wonders of RSS? Does anyone feel up to the challenge? Don’t all volunteer at once.
