Sam,

Add this as a child of the <head> tag in the front page's HTML:

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="SDL news" href="http://www.libsdl.org/rss/rss.xml" />

Then Firefox, Safari on Tiger, and IE7 (etc) will put an RSS icon in the status bar to alert people that there's an RSS feed on the page.

--ryan.

(Whoops, it's already there, ignore this.)

Comment 7 Sam Lantinga 2006-02-26 11:34:00 UTC
Done, although Firefox doesn't actually fill in the "live bookmark" generated by it... is there something wrong with the feed?
Comment 8 Sam Lantinga 2006-02-26 16:46:58 UTC
Whoops, I had too many w's in the URL.  It works fine now.
