I ve been using FreshRSS for a while as a backend for NetNewsWire and decided to finally create an extension to add rssCloud support. This not only does what you d expect: subscribe to feeds that support rssCloud cloud> elements. But it also supports subscribing via HTTPS when port 443 or the protocol https-post are specified.

Today, I launched I ♥ RSS, a directory for people who love RSS. I ve already added the badge to my footer and submitted my site to the directory. It also shows a nice live blogroll on the homepage (powered by FeedLand). If you love RSS as much as I do, take a look and add your own [ ]

There is a new short-form blogging theme for WordPress.com called Blurt. I have a few opinions about this, so I figured I d chime in.
