RSS feed

Hi, I just wonder if you guys plan to use an RSS-feed at the front page? Since I rarely come around the site anymore I would like to have a quick overview in my aggregator of what's happening in my internet world and reading news without having to go to the actual webpages (I would read the headlines at this page much more frequently if there was a feed). Consider the feature request.

PS: If you don't know how a feed is formed you can check mine out for my own website. I tried to make it so simple and new as possible = RSS 2.0 and no irrelevant tags otherwise just filling up the space of an already heavy document.

The feed's quality isn't huge tho. If someone can suggest a good clean (non-PEAR) RSS writing library for php, I'm open to suggestions.

(also, since I get why you didn't find it easily, I actually added the proper meta tag to show the orange subscription icon in the browser now. I also took the opportunity to fix the feed by removing the rabbitjournal posts from it)

Oh thanks, the reason I didn't notice it is that you haven't added this to your -tag:
PHP Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS feed" href="http://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/news/rssFeed.php"
By that I get an icon in my top address-bar indicating you have a feed.

Yeah. Like I said, I've noticed its absence now and added it

Note that tags should be in the section of the page. Also, your feed is slightly broken: you have repeated the URL in http://www.jazz2online.comhttp://www.jazz2online.com/J2Ov2/ at the top of the feed.

Thanks, I have fixed the title. It's another fix though of code that's actually just broken and needs to be replaced sometimes. The rest of the feed's quality is just... gruesomely bad.

The site header display function apparently did allow for optional meta tags, so after your suggestion I looked into it specifically and moved it to a rather more non hack-ish place. Thanks.

(curse Firefox 2 for taking over the alt+s shortcut, bypassing vBulletin's alt+s post saving shortcut)
