We've added support for RSD to Conversant's "old" weblog pages. The new Weblog II pages aren't publicly available yet, but already support RSD. RSD stands for "Really Simple Discovery." Therer's only one purpose behind RSD: to make it easy to configure software to work with your weblog. Nothing else. What is it? It's an XML file that can be read by smart client software to automatically configure the software for use with your weblog. "Client software" in this case is any application software that you run on your desktop to manage your weblog, not including your browser or email. Examples are Sid and NetNewsWire Pro. A number of products have added support for RSD in the last week, and more are coming soon. How to Use ItEvery weblog created by Conversant automatically creates an RSD file. To see it, just go to your weblog's home page and add "/RSD.xml" to the end of the URL. For example:
http://www.free-conversant.com/news
However, there's one thing you can do to make the RSD file more useful: put a link to it in the <head> section of your weblog's page template. We've provided a macro to make this really easy, and we've added already added it to the Weblog READONLY page template. It looks like this:
Again, if you're not sure what to do with it, take a look at the Weblog READONLY page template in the templates section of your site's /admin area. Comments and questions are welcome, of course. |
