Introduction

RSS is amazing! While not everyone thinks that, most people that understand RSS, like it. This presents a problem, as most people don’t have chance to learn about it. Unless there is a person in the community that doesn’t shut up about how great RSS is (maybe that person is you), they might not even know what it is, let alone use it.

One big reason for this is, that when you click an link to an RSS feed you download a strange file that most people don’t know how to deal with. Maybe your browser is nice and renders some XML which is also not meant for human consumption. Wouldn’t it be better if people clicked on the RSS link and were greeted by a text explaining RSS and how to use it? And if the site would still be a valid RSS feed?
