Get rid of the orange XML icon

Link: Get rid of the orange XML icon

I tend not to agree with Dave Winer on everything, but this is something I agree 100% with. The omnipresent orange “XML” logo sucks. Maybe not for tech geeks, but for regular people. They don’t care about technology, but what they can do with it.

When I finally get around to fixing the design on this site, I won’t add the orange “XML”, but I might just add an orange “Subscribe!”.

AJAXSLT is an implementation of XSL-T in JavaScript, intended for use in fat web pages, which are nowadays referred to as AJAX applications. Because XSL-T uses XPath, it is also an implementation of XPath that can be used independently of XSL-T.

R.I.P. RSS

I have for a long time had feeds in multiple formats. This is no longer the case: Every feed is now in the most widely implemented version of the Atom format, most commonly refered to as Atom 0.3. This is to facilitate easier subscription for users, and to have better options for further extending the site with new features.

Atom/RDF/RSS content-negotiation survey

2005-01-19 01:03 – 12 comments

Cool URIs don't change. That's also why newsfeeds should have exactly one URI, and only one URI. HTTP has accepted methods of negotiating content through Accept: headers and q-values for content types. This is a survey with the goal of finding out how aggregators are handling this. Do they send out the correct q-values, and get the appropriate feed in return?

It's not Pie, it's not Echo, it's not Not-Echo

It seems that the-project-to-end-all-syndication-wars has finally gone and gotten itself a new name. The new name seems to be _Atom_—so now you all can look forward to _atomizing_ your sites.
