Scripting News, the weblog started in 1997 that bootstrapped the blogging revolution.
Update on RSS spec site

A picture named iLoveRss.gifJames Holderness sent me a long list of small issues with the new static RSS 2.0 spec site, most of which I fixed today. I also fixed the bluearrow I wrote about yesterday, so that all instances now are relative, so the site should be totally relocatable. I also fixed the home page link on each page, it was pointing to the top level of cyber.law.harvard.edu, now it points to the home page of the RSS 2.0 site. All these are small things, but it's always good to get the small things fixed.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
