New RSS Feed!
This is a note to all those using RSS feeds to view this site. There is now an RSS 2.0 feed with comments included, if you desire it. The url for the feed is http://www.flexistentialist.org/index-comments.xml if you would like to subscribe. Using this feed, your aggregator will show an entry as new if it has a comment posted. You can then read the entry to see the comment listed at the bottom. Its handy for keeping up with the discussion that often ensues from my entries.
Of course, if you think the comments are nothing more than mindless blabbery, and you don’t want to have entries you’ve already read show up as new just so you can read the comment, then stick with the regular RSS feeds.
If you don’t know what RSS is, then read this handy article titled All About RSS. In short, RSS is a method by which the content of this website is sent out in a generic news format that programs called aggregators can read. The aggregator downloads the RSS file on a set interval (once an hour, once a day, etc.), and checks to see if there is a new entry. If so, it highlights the entry, and makes it easy for you to browse. I have about 30 websites in my aggregator, and whenever any of them make an update, I am informed within the hour. It makes keeping up with a lot of blogs and news sites very easy.
