"Please consider publishing a full-text RSS feed for your website or blog"

If you don't already have a full-text RSS feed, please do add one, and then tell me about it and your blog in the replies!

And if you've already got one, amazing, tell me about it too please!

Please consider publishing a full-text RSS feed for your website or blog

I have used RSS (

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk Do you have a guide you recommend for implementing RSS? Say, for a personal website where one is not using a batteries-included package like Wordpress

[midzer@chaos.social]

@neil got you covered ;D

@neil got one. but, it's atom 1.0 because i'm a nerd. https://hayobethlehem.nl/feeds/all.atom (this is the aggregated feed, i have 3 separate for articles, photos or book reviews.

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@midzer Thank you!

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@aismallard

I've use mkdocs, hugo, and BSSG, and all have options for generating an RSS feed.

If you are not using a static site generator, then no, I don't have any experience with this, I'm afraid.

[adamshostack@infosec.exchange]

@neil I've had a full text feed for 20 years. http://shostack.org/feed.xml

@neil due to a certain little bird and some backend poking, I'm pleased to announce that to the best of my knowledge I do indeed have a full-text RSS feed.

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@adamshostack Yours is, I think, the first one that I've seen that appends new entries to the end!

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@GoingDownWithSundial You certainly did, and I am grateful for it!

[macronaut@mas.to]

@neil I have one already, called Tangents: https://themacronaut.com … I’m a bit behind in posting my stuff… 🥶

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@macronaut Yes, a (very) occasional blog is all the more reason to offer full-text RSS!

[adamshostack@infosec.exchange]

@neil huh! I hadn't paid close attention. I think that's a default in something in the 11ty stack we're using, but Im not sure.

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@adamshostack It seems to work fine, but it just surprised me!

[bekopharm@indieweb.social]

@neil why yes. It even knows tricks thanks to Post Kinds: https://beko.famkos.net/follow/

(or… you know… just use ActivityPub)

[macronaut@mas.to]

@neil Thank you for making me feel better and providing the motivation to clean it up and publish couple of more articles.

[thelastpsion@oldbytes.space]

@neil Already got one! Happily, Hugo does RSS automatically, although it defaults to the first few paragraphs rather than full text. It's a small change, though.

The blog is just me being very nerdy about a particular make of 90s pocket computer, plus the occasional foray into modern homelab stuff. All, of course, sans AI.

@thelastpsion That sounds right up my street!

[rubenwardy@hachyderm.io]

@neil

I've had full text feeds for a long time, in both Atom and jsonfeed formats as RSS is fairly obsolete by now. I like feeds, I even made a new tab browser extension with a feed widget

@neil annoyingly, although I have full text feeds they don't have images in them - whether this is a big or a feature probably depends on your philosophy
