Look Ma, I've styled my RSS feed

Dec 26, 2024

What is it about the web that there's this endless, yet wonderful cycle of people showing how they do things? The latest thing I've taken on is styling my RSS feed.

Now, rather than get just a glob of XML thrown in your face, you get a reasonably nice looking list of posts. Go ahead and click on that link above and you'll see what I mean.

The most recent inspiration for this was Cassidy Williams and her post titled How to make your RSS feed pretty. I also looked back on a post that I had recalled from Darek Kay and his post titled Style your RSS feed.

If you're thinking of doing this, both of those are excellent entry points to get started. If you want to see my own XSL file, it's here on GitHub.
