Now if we shamelessly beg can you help Gretchen update her RSS to include the full post? (Dive Into Mark, great template, CDATA and all) and also the Lockergnome Bits & Bytes? I *love* RSS!!!

I had seen that too – but it's specific to adding extra fields to the MT entry page. :-\

Here are some possibly useful ideas I found... http://www.staggernation.com/mtplugins/ExtraFieldsReadMe.html

Well, not sure if this will do everything you're looking for – but it's a start at least:
http://www.scriptygoddess.com/archives/003555.php
I'd love to be able to have it display back on the page. But a) doing it the way I know how would require using php (which you can't do in popupcomments) or b) would require me to understand more about perl than I do. At least that tutorial will allow people to have their rss feed links included in your email comment notifications…

Did anyone get the hack for you? It's cake! I'll whip up a tutorial on scriptygoddess today if no one else has picked up on it yet.

I warned you about drinking that Raging Cow, but did you listen?

There's already a spec for including a link to your site's RSS feed in the HTML of your home page. See this document on diveintomark.org:

Radio UserLand's weblog editor and aggregator implement it, as do Manila, Amphetadesk and NetNewsWire. There are more, I'm sure…

Well, Cameron, I'd love to explain it and make this comments section explode, but I wouldn't want to anger the local Gnomes. http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/12/18/dive-into-xml.html That's a rather good explanation of what an RSS feed is. I found out about RSS after Chris used some VML on his blog many months ago. Through my searches, I learned about XML, and finally RSS.

By the way – the Dive Into Mark post that I linked to numerous times today on my site includes a template that keeps links in your RSS feeds as links. It ROCKS.

If anyone knows me–which I know you don't–, I also hope to get my site into e-mail publishing and such. I've finally given in and added an RSS feed, even though I think they're getting too close to becoming nearly end-user relevant. Anyways, that idea never dawned on me–why not use RSS to bring e-mail newsletters to viewers even faster? Brilliant! Good job, Chris. I hope to have three different feeds up within the nextr few days.

What would help allow RSS to replace e-mail newsletters would be if the publisher would… One – Send out the complete article in the RSS stream and Two – send out Hyperlinks in the text stream so people can go directly to the item in reference (like your Google images.)
The first item would allow people to grab and read on the run, like they can in email, as opposed to having to be attached to the network. The second would allow people to understand some of the stuff that refers to a hyperlink (such as your Google post).
So, when is the book on RSS Newsletters coming out? :)

The other thing that might be nice is to have some kind of meta data stored on your blog that could easily identify the prefered feed. (Like I think I still have an old .rdf feed, though I only point people at the RSS 2.0 feed for my site.) That way all you'd have to do is indicate your site and it would get the other data automagicly (kind of like how the trackback discovery stuff works). (Oh yeah, and my RSS feed is at http://www.ezoons.com/~gblake/rss.xml)

It's a Tech TV thing… first Patric had it, then Michaela, now Chris… interesting — a conspiracy or coincidence? You decide. :)

Mark MY words: http://nslog.com/archives/2003/01/22/mailing_lists_how_antiquated.php :-) heh heh. In other words, I agree. Let's see what happens now. RSS is still a pretty geek thing, but it's moving quickly.
