Adding an RSS Template to Blosxom
The RSS template/flavour supplied with the original installation of Blosxom doesn't really
conform to modern useage. At The
Unofficial Blosxom User Group, mention is made of Hal Halvorsen's A better RSS 2.0 template for Blosxom.
He mentions it might take ten to fifteen minutes to configure. In actual fact it was easier than
that. I copied his flavours into the root of my blog directory and made the following changes:
- story.rss20: added .article to fn in two places, since that is how I suffix each individual
blog article from a url perspective
- head.rss20: changed the copyright notice
- foot.blog: changed my index.rss link to index.rss20 for my xml tag
I was able to validate the feed with Weblogs.com Feed Validator.
So, in actual fact, adding the feed ability and documenting it in this blog took maybe fifteen or
twenty minutes. Easy.
