Atom and RSS feeds in jekyll

 

Even the most avid follower will not refresh a page minute by minute, weeks after the most recent post. It would require patience and insanity A better solution is to use Atom or RSS feeds, which notify a user when there is an update.

With jekyll, the Atom and RSS feeds can be automatically created, to be updated whenever there is a new post. The hyde theme comes with an Atom feed template, and an RSS feed template is available under the MIT license from http://github.com/snaptortoise/jekyll-rss-feeds . These have been added to the site, and are now available from the sidebar.

Feed readers exist to accumulate and deliver new posts from any website that includes feeds. I use Feedly, a browser-based feed reader.
