I decided to try out making a RSS feed for my blog. According to xml.com, “RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites.” I am not really sure of the applications for a RSS feed on my site, but I decided it would be neat. One of the reasons, RSS is used is to reduce server load because people aren’t loading the whole website when the view the feed, only part of it. However since my RSS page is dynamic, it actually requires more processing power on the server than simply visiting the website. So if you have a RSS feed viewer or Firefox 1.0PR, you can theoretically view the new posts on my website. I was able to view the feed using a free java viewer, but I could not get Firefox to see it using the new livemark feature. It may be because the RSS page is dynamic and firefox keeps on loading it, over and over again. The RSS feed is in the RSS 2.0 format and is located here.
