Headline Mania
A little-known feature that's been around this site for almost 3 years now is a small xml channel that provides headlines for inclusion on other sites. The original channel was (is) written in Bungie's own version of RSS, known as BSS. Sites like Rampancy.net and Subnova.com grab this channel from us (and channels from many other places) - and if you want this, you can have it too! The point of this news post, however, is not to make an old feature more visible, but to point out an enhancement. A reader pointed out that the feed reader he uses, NetNewsWire Lite for Mac OSX, was choking on the BSS file - part of the problem is that Bungie's definition page, which tells readers how to interpret the file, is no longer online. Therefore, in addition to the BSS file, we now provide a fully RSS 1.0-compliant version of our channel. The old version is still available, here, and the new one can be found here. Both are updated every time news is posted. (If this is all greek to you, ignore it; it's either of use or it's not. :) ) Update: RSS Mania! Now there's an RSS2 channel, as well - not just headlines, but you can read ALL of our front page news in a feed reader! Check this out. (Louis Wu 15:35:39 UTC)
