Wonderful!

I think 100 items may be a bit much.


Posted by Izzy at September 21, 2007 01:59 AM

I will try and set it to last 30 posts.

Hooray!

No more ellipses! Cheers - the RSS is now ten times handier.

An XML feed AKA an RSS feed is a way of finding out if there is anything new on Samizdata without having to go to all the trouble of visiting the site.

If you go to Bloglines (www.bloglines.com), set up an account, click Add and paste the URL above in the box provided, you will be able to see this magic for yourself.

You do have to check into Bloglines, mind.

Publishing the full text of the articles via an XML feed, also makes a blog a bit harder to censor with a spurious threat of legal action against the hosting company, either by a Government or law enforcement agency, or by lawyers or public relations mercenaries, since copies of the truth / alleged libel will be distributed onto many other systems, including search engines, outside of their control, probably every hour or so.

This is something to bear in mind, given the incompetent attempts at blog censorship by the expensive law firm of Schillings, for their now notorious client Alisher Usmanov, which caused collateral damage even to blogs which had never mentioned his criminal past and links with corrupt dictatorships - see Chicken Yoghurt for more details.
