Kind of ironic because I can't find any RSS feed linked on this site (apart from in the blog post itself). Not even my RSS reader picks up that he even has a RSS feed. Bit odd to be commenting on others not having RSS on their site if his own site doesn't properly support it either.
- nickthegreek 7y agolooks like he added a link to his RSS (https://kevq.uk/feed https://kevq.uk/feed) at the end of the article, but like you, my RSS reader was unable to locate it naturally.
- Fogest 7y agoYeah I saw the link there but unfortunately that is not very helpful as if he isn't doing that on every single article you'll have a hard time finding it.
- Deimorz 7y agoIt's because he doesn't have one of the rel="alternate" tags that RSS readers look for: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/RSS/Getting_Started/Syndicating#Adding_the_.3Clink.3E https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/RSS/Getting... (not sure why this MDN page is marked as "obsolete").
- type0 7y agoMaybe because mozilla removed built in rss support from firefox?
- notriddle 7y agoThat and Firefox never made it particularly easy to find, and even if you notice it, you might not know how to trigger their auto-detection. In any case, I sent him an email with info on how to add it.
- kgwxd 7y agoThat's not a Firefox thing, all RSS readers look for that. It's what allows you to paste the url from, say, a YouTube channel and the reader is able to find the feed for that channel without knowing anything about how YouTube fashions their rss urls.
- daveFNbuck 7y agoWithout that manually added link in the one article, there's no way to locate his feed. His blog could have been one of the ones he's complaining about.
- itsjloh 7y agoExactly! I wonder if this is the reason behind them not being able to find a lot of the RSS feeds originally.
