Tips and Tricks for:  RSS

The Problem:   There are a lot of RSS feed readers available.  They're needed to check compatibility.

Anyone producing an RSS feed needs to check compatibility with the most common feed readers.  While they all adhere to a standard, they all seem to use a different verison of the standard.  That is, almost no standard at all.


Solution: Here's a list of RSS feed readers and links.
