You may have noticed that we’ve got a new element on our news pages: a “permalink” option. This is part of our upgrade process as we move towards more comprehensive RSS 2.0 feeds. One of the issues with our news pages has always been that any given option would rotate off the news pages after a period of time. You couldn’t bookmark or permanently link to a given item. But if we want our RSS feeds to link back to specific news items, we needed to give each news item a permanent link, or a permalink.

To make that happen, each news item needs its own URL, and, by extension, its own Web page. Across all five magazines, that meant we had to create 10,873 new Web pages for our servers, which we did this weekend. Now every news item ever published in any of the five magazines has a permanent page online. For now, you can still only get to the items listed on our current news pages. Eventually, we’ll create a Timeline of History interface that will get you into news items going all the way back to 1997.

Stay tuned. We’ll be adding more and more elements to our pages as we move all the ZATZ sites fully into an RSS 2.0 world over the next month or so.
