My RSS Feed Is Up!

When I set up this blog I knew that I wanted to create an RSS feed for it. RSS continues to be my favorite method of curating what I read on the internet, stripped free of algorithms that control what I can and can’t see.

These days, I primarily write and read blog posts on Dreamwidth, a blogging platform that also acts as as feed reader, but adding external, non-Dreamwidth sites there is a little finnicky and I’d rather not generate accounts for other people’s feeds. So in order for me to subscribe to blogs on standalone sites, I’ve set up NetNewsWire as my reader and synced it via iCloud—it’s free and open source, which I always appreciate. I’ve installed version 6 instead of the latest 7, since the latter requires me to upgrade my MacOS to Tahoe (v26) and I want to avoid the Liquid Glass updates as long as I can.

Right now I’ve set up my RSS feed to display the entire content of each post. While I like how this shows up on the reader, I also anticipate wanting to attach interactive components (graphics, scrollytelling, weird layouts, etc.) to certain posts in the future, and I have no idea how this might look or whether it’ll just completely break the XML structure. I’ll have to cross that bridge later, but for now things are looking pretty neat!

You can find my feed here.
