Various and sundry Atom feeds.
If you’d prefer to get your tidbits from a feed reader, you can subscribe to any one of several Atom feeds here.
- Whats new, a summary-only feed of recent posts.
- Full text, a full-text feed of recent posts.
- Comments, a feed of all the comments. You can also subscribe to the comments on a particular post; there’s a subscription link at the end of each post.
Filtering
You can filter these feeds by topic, subject, or “coverage” (where it’s about).
- To filter by topic, add a “
topic={topickey}
parameter to the URI - To filter by subject, add a “
subject={subjectkey}
parameter to the URI - To filter by coverage, add a “
coverage={coveragekey}
parameter to the URI
You may specify zero or more of each kind of filter. The feed will only contain posts that satisfy all of the filters.
- Topics are listed on the topics page.
- Subjects are listed on the subjects page.
- Coverages are a little less obvious. To find the coveragekey, navigate from
the coverage page to a particular location. The
key is the part of the URI after
/coverage/
. For example, the URI for Prague ishttps://so.nwalsh.com/coverage/cz-prague
and the key iscz-prague
. (Yeah, it’s a bit tedious, but it doesn’t seem like the kind of thing very many people are going to use.)
