Re: RSS support not available in TW 1.8?
Well, that's confusing. Every article I read about RSS said it is a way to have content, i.e. news, fresh news that includes a title and description. It's a "What's new" is another phrase I heard. One might have product releases, new publications, special stories, releases of e-books, with a summary. You would see something about the content and then go to that content. For example, I could put in a news oriented blog the fact that a new edition of my friends poetry e-book was completed by me. Now, everyone who is subscribed would see that in the title of the article and the content of the article might have a little blurb... then you go for more details. But one must have some headline, some summary of the content for the day/week/etc. or it's not News per see, or even topic oriented. For example a newsgroup might be alt.forsale.computer, and if I saw an post about a Pentium 4 system real cheap, maybe the price is even in the heading, I'd go check it out. What I am seeing is essentially a list to use this metaphor, or comparison, if I had a newsfeed for every article on that newsgroup it would be just
alt.forsale.computer
alt.forsale.computer
What's the date, or what's the posting about? The information? How do I share my exciting content with someone? I don't want them to have to read each article to find out what my site stories have among all the other stories a visitor might be subscribed to... other metaphors I could use would be a book index, a table of contents. These are things I might check when deciding to read further. What I see would be like a news ticker that just said
bruce's web site post 1 ... bruce's web site post 2... bruce's web site post 3...
That isn't RSS at all what I'm seeing.
