OPML

I'll publish an OPML file for you RSS fans here soon. Follow rel=hay's RSS feed and download the file once I've announced it. It'll initially have all the feeds of blogs I've found. In the meantime, you have but a few posts to catch up with.

OPML? It's a file format used to share RSS feeds in bulk and import them into your feed reader. Like a folder. It's basically a list of feeds your feed reader can use to subscribe to loads of feeds at once.

RSS? Matt Webb explains it best. It's like newsletters but you just delete them when you're done with them (instead of having to unsubscribe awkwardly) and they're cheaper and much easier for web sites to publish.

Whenever I post a new blog, I'll update the OPML. You needn't re-download it each time a new feed arrives, just get the first instance of it and add feeds you like as you go from then.
