The first phase of the extreme RSSization process for ZATZ content appears to be ready for testing. Although we've had RSS 0.91 feeds since 1998, we haven't updated our code for these feeds since, well, 1998. A lot's changed.

We are now ready to roll out RSS 2.0 feeds for each of our magazines, at least as betas. These are fully-validated RSS 2.0 feeds, including content. We're currently feeding news, but we'll be adding more and more as we continue coding and adding more features.

Right now, you can get the feeds themselves. You won't find the little orange XML icons anywhere, we don't ping the RSS hubs, and pages don't respond to autodiscovery requests. We'll be adding those later.

In the meantime, please feel free to subscribe to the feeds and send feedback directly to david@ZATZ.com. I'd like bug reports, usage comments, and anything else you feel would be important as we move more heavily into this area. Here are the individual feed URLS...

Again, let us know what you think. This is definitely the time when feedback might well be acted upon. Be nice, though. A lot of time has gone into coding these features and you'll see the results over the current months. -- David
