I spent most of the day setting up BCR’s first RSS feed. Its not ready to go live yet but it does work. There are two cool parts. 1. Found the program ListGarden which makes creating and publishing RSS feeds “dumb stick” easy. No code necessary and remote editing. This program is going to get a featured position in the book, I promise. 2. This whole process will easily be turned into pages for the book. It’s a good day when you can accomplish something at work and have it apply to things you do outside the office too.
