Making RSS Pretty

Sean M. Burke, Jul 16, 2004

For various reasons I have been playing with XML, XSL and CSS, prompted partly because of a couple of small projects I'm working on, and prompted partly because Sean Burke released this nice guide to how the three work together. In so doing, I created an RSS 2.0 feed of OLDaily (mainly because my browser requires a .xml extension on the XML file to make any of this work). This feed will replace my existing RSS 0.91 feed - I will keep producing the 0.91 feed, so nobody's headline reader will break, but will direct my efforts toward the 2.0 feed. Why am I doing this? Because you should be thinking of this sort of model when you think about reusable learning resources. More on this soon. For those of you who are curious to see how I did it, see my XSL and CSS files, both of which borrow heavily from Sean Burke's files.
