If you came to this blog via my home page, you might have noticed a change: thanks to the wonders of Really Simple Syndication (RSS), I’m now able to bring in headlines and intros from my recent blog entries, which is what I was asking about a couple weeks ago. What I needed was to get ahold of something called an RSS Parser, such as the one here.
This is something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile. Unfortunately, not everything works quite as planned; as I write this my most recent entry still hasn’t shown up on the home page or on some (but not all) of the other places my blog is syndicated (such as Baseballblogs.org) even though it’s in the feed. I’m still hopeful this feature is going to improve the site, but like everything else technical, there will be bugs along the way. I still think that RSS has the potential to be one of the best developments in the baseball blogosphere.
