RSS and Atom feeds

Introduction to feeds

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) and Atom are XML-based formats for content distribution.

If you have news-reader software, you can use it to view content from this site and others that you select. (News readers are available as stand-alone applications or plug-ins for web browsers or email clients. You can also view feeds via news-aggregation web sites. Or in other ways.) By subscribing to a free feed, you will receive a continuing stream of posts or comments automatically. If you feel overwhelmed (who doesn’t?), you may simply stop using your computer, or unsubscribe.

Feed formats

The Habit of Wonder publishes feeds in RSS 2.0 and Atom 0.3.

Posts are, of course, the dated entries you find on the main blog page.

Comments are the responses (not available in Atom).
