I reviewed the book Essential Blogging and noted my growing interest in RSS technology, specifically looking at how to utilize Daypop's new RSS output for my own weblogging workflow as the format gains more adoption.
Essential Blogging: a book on weblogging. Quite good. Technie note: This RSS thing looks interesting. Daypop has started offering RSS output. Need to see how I can use it.
I found a valuable collection of readings on weblogging from a UC Berkeley journalism course. These links cover the early academic and professional perspectives on the blogging phenomenon as it emerged in 2002.
I curated a list of fifteen practical uses for RSS feeds, including tools to mix multiple scripts together and services that convert static web pages into functional RSS feeds for better content syndication.
I discovered and enjoyed using Daypop, a search engine that ranked my personal site at the very top for an "Anand" search. It was a useful tool for tracking what was currently popular on the web.
I noted Amazon's 2005 entry into the blogging space through a strategic investment. The discussion captures the era's landscape, including the emergence of corporate blogging at Amazon India and the technical frustrations of mid-2000s web popups.
I successfully restored my blog's RSS feed, allowing subscribers to once again follow my updates and links through their favorite feed readers. You can access the XML file directly to stay synced with my latest content.
