blogChannel RSS module
A RSS module that adds elements at the <channel> level that are common to weblogs. Change Notes  10/28/02; 9:05:50 AM by DW -- Added <blogChannel:changes> element, described below. Scripting News implements the new element. 9/18/02; 8:35:48 AM by DW -- It's been reviewed by several namespace gurus and passes. I removed the caveat. Feel free to deploy. I added support to the Scripting News RSS feed. Description Three elements are defined, all are sub-elements of <channel>. blogRoll -- the URL of an OPML file containing the blogroll for the site. mySubscriptions -- the URL of an OPML file containing the author's RSS subscriptions. blink -- the URL of a weblog that the author of the weblog is promoting per Mark Pilgrim's description. changes -- the URL of a changes.xml file. When the feed that contains this element updates, it pings a server that updates this file. The presence of this element says to aggregators that they only have to read the changes file to see if this feed has updated. If several feeds point to the same changes file, the aggregator has to do less polling, resulting in better use of server bandwidth, and the Internet as a whole; and resulting in faster scans. Everyone wins. For more technical information, see the howto on the XML-RPC site. Namespace declaration xmlns:blogChannel="http://backend.userland.com/blogChannelModule" Example Here's a RSS file that implements all the elements of the blogChannel module.
