July 7, 2006Revised and redesigned RSS feeds
If you haven't used RSS feeds before, or if you're unfamiliar with how they work, check out my past blog post on the topic. If you have used them however, here's a quick explainer about using this new index. Besides the obvious section redesign, you should take special notice of the "reveal/hide" feature underneath each section feed. By clicking on either the plus or minus icons, you can see additional feeds for individual subsections. This is courtesy the Scriptaculous JavaScript library, and the BlindUp and BlindDown effects. This is especially useful if you want to read a particilar columnist, such as Beth Macy, or want to receive only breaking news. Still under development are changes to the RSS feed's XML underbelly. Without getting to technical (since I've done that already), it's the code you see when you click the link for a given feed. Those changes won't be that evident, but will make the feed structurally sound.
