Styling RSS Feeds? Yes please!

26 July 2003   

 

Styling RSS Feeds? Yes please!

It's my feed, I'll show you it, how I like. You don't like that? Go away.

And so you should, or look or ask for another type of feed.

I want to dress up some items, and put all sorts of HTML in there, it renders fine, as I test my own dog food in the Radio Aggregator, in NN7. So I release it. Not many read my RSS 2.0 file though, but I do.

"Should people style their RSS feeds? Should news aggregators give users the option to strip styles from posts when they're displayed? What is too much style? If there's an image with a post, it's nice to let that wrap right or left as the author intended, but should you draw the line at font changes?"

To draw the line is to unsubscribe. Do it if it disturbs you IMO.
