RSS Templates – get 'em while they're hot!

One thing I've found myself having to dig for are the links to the actual templates for RSS feeds… so here we go.

Here's Christine's scripty post about why you need an RSS feed and what it is. (NOW!) ;-)

This is Dive Into Mark's basic template (When you click that link, it looks all funky in the browser, you have to view source to see the code you need… So I just posted it below…) (Dive into Mark's full post here)

Here's Jennifer's template (which is my favorite because it's full post, and comments!)

I know people have other templates out there, so here's your chance to post them. (If you're posting the actual template in the comments – which would be GREAT – so I don't have to hunt for them, or bang my head against the wall when you rename all your pages and I can't find your templates any more) – just don't forget to use the "decoder" link to change all the < to &lt; and > to &gt;

    Phew…
    I've just finished creating my global mutliblog RSS 2.0 feed. Faced a lot of issues and the end result so far might not even be a valid xml feed, but thankfully Brad Choate has a great starter entry on how…

    i know that don and mac will thank me eternally for this: my RSS feed – specifically my index.xml feed is now posts AND comments. thanks to scripty goddess and http://www.fortysomething.ca for the assistance, it was much easier to do…

    Was ich mir unbedingt mal anschauen sollte, sind die RSS-Template-Empfehlungen der Scriptygoddess. Am praktischsten für die Leser ist wahrscheinlich dieses Template mit 'full posts & comments'. Allerdings würde ich diesen ganzen Kram erstmal verstehen …

    Okay… I am no programmer by any means… I know html… I wanted to make my site skinnable but never did get it working with that illustrious tutorial. Is there any hope for me getting comments up on my page? I'd really like to have them displayed right on the page instead of in a popup window. I don't use moveable type or blogger or anything like that. Can anyone tell me how this is done? Many thanks in advance,

    Amy

    Please be careful about casually calling Mark's Template "funky." That brings up way too many issues that are best left elsewhere. :)

    Huh? Have no idea what you're talking about. My point was that it's MT template code – which the browser can't render – because it's supposed to be placed in *MT*. That's why when you click the link it doesn't look right…. =totally confused= (how is that casually calling his template funky?)
