Since the next version of NetNewsWire supports source:markdown. I wanted to show how to find the feeds generated by WordLand that are compatible. We need both sides to start the bootstrap, and we have them, and my daveverse site, which I update fairly frequently, generates a Markdown-inclusive feed. Important for the bootstrap to have the three legs -- 1. A writing tool that generates the feature. 2. A feed reader that understands it. 3. Content available in the format. #
In August 2002 I asked why RSS 1.0 is named RSS? I gathered up opinions from people and published it as a single document. I didn't edit or respond, just let people speak. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
