XML is kinda funky http://www.jinxm.co.uk/rss/rss.xml

If you have no idea what an "RSS" is, then you should read a couple of articles. RSS means "Really Simple Syndication" and it is becoming a popular way for people to keep up with their favourite sites. Right now (12 April 2005) it is becoming something web developers need to think carefully about! More and more people are using RSS readers to jump to updated parts of the site which interest them. This means the site's navigation and, perhaps more importantly, the home page are no longer as relevant.

RSS is pretty froody because it cuts out the chaff. You look at only those sites that interest you and, of those, only the pages that interest you. No more homepages shoving stuff down your throat! Certainly something for those who build web sites to think about...

For more info, try this article from the BBC web site. You can also do a search which will turn up loads of info. For a great RSS Reader, try the comically named "RSS Bandit" which is nice and easy to use.
