The Breeze has RSS

posted by finnegan

Don’t know when this happened, but The Breeze now has RSS feeds for its news, sports, entertainment, and opinion sections.

I emailed their webmaster a few months ago, and he said he was working on it. Guess he wasn’t kidding.

Now WHSV needs RSS feeds. And WSVA needs a whole new website. If there was an award for worst news website in the Valley, WSVA would win.

In related web/tech news, Firefox 2.0 is out, ready for you to download, even if it still has a few bugs. I had some troubles getting it to work, but after re-installing it, I like it. Best new feature: as you type in online forums and blogs, it spell checks for you.
