Syndication

In fact there is an RSS feed from every folder. To request it, simply replace the "page_identifier/page_x.htm" component of the URL with "syndicate.rss".

For example, the URL of this page, http://urbanmainframe.com/folders/blog/20040217_a/page_1.htm, becomes http://urbanmainframe.com/folders/blog/syndicate.rss.

The RSS validates successfully but, for some reason, doesn't work with intraVnews, which is my preferred aggregator. If anyone could tell me why I'd be grateful.

Update (27-Feb-2004): I have the RSS feeds working properly now. The problem with intraVnews was that it couldn't handle mod_gzip compressed content. I set up a filter in my mod_gzip config so that "*.rss" files do not get compressed and that seems to have done the trick.

Update (27-Feb-2004): For a better explanation of the available feeds refer to my syndication page.
