Holy crap you guys, RSS!
When I first wrote the CMS I never bothered to include RSS support, I guess becuase I never use the thing myself (I either remember to keep up with someone's weblog, or I don't). Laurie asked me where it'd got to, and I kind of decided it was time to finally bow before the needs of Web 2.0. After a little research, I can now say that the Form One Lane weblog is the proud owner of its own RSS feed. It seems to work; the first real test will be if it continues to work after I've published this entry. Or, uh, I guess the real first real test will be if someone's able to subscribe to the feed and follow it long-term. But if not, then I guess we at least have RSS theatre; that's kind of cool, right?
There is a bug with it: if I've used any special characters in a main entry (e.g. e acute) some aggregators will throw a tanty. That hasn't happened in the last ten posts, but may at some point in the future. I supposed I could solve the problem with regex, but you know what they say about regex. Isn't that some kind of Happier Living tip — always leave yourself something to do?
