Hi,

I have successfully implemented rss into my wsnlink directory. However, i noticed other blogging sites use Atom feeds as well. Can Atom Feed be added into the feature suggestion list?

Can you find me a useful description of what syntax or whatever these atom feeds involve? I suppose it's probably another sort of XML.

Sorry Paul.

I have totally no idea how the syntax is composed. I guess it is another type of xml also.

By the way, how can i convert rssfeed.php to xml type? Or there is no option for that?

I hadn't looked at Atom feeds, though some of the programs I run across syndicate or aggregate them and I was thinking about building a atom.php off of the rss.php for my use.

I don't have any idea what you mean by converting to xml type.

Still probrably not enough information to work off of, but enough to see it is a little more complicated than the rss. I really didn't even get into the discovery phase of my own atom.php project. Which is sad because one of my WSNlinks is devoted to newsfeeds, ezines newsletters.
