It's all about the news

[andrewducker]

Now that the syndication system is all up and running, I've finally got my new subscriptions all in one place.

I'm now subscribed to:
bbctech, bbcukfrontpage, bluesnews, wired_news, saloncom, plasticdotcom, theregister, kuro5hin and slashdot.

Oh, you can only do this if you're a paid member, by the way. Just one of the perks. Apparently 356 other people subscribe to slashdot, but only I like the BBC's tech coverage. Anyone can add a feed, but they cost 'points' to subscribe to, and those points go down as more people join a group. I have just over a point left, so I can either grab a whole new feed nobody else reads, or I can join 3 or 4 that lots of other people subscribe to.

Or I can hoard it all to myself. Bwahahahaha.

Oh, and the syndication page is here. Of course, there's no link off of the front page or anything, that'd be far too easy for people to find.

90% of the really nifty features around here aren't on the front page -- see, the front page requires an actual patch to get changed, while the FAQs and stuff can be edited by anyone with the appropriate privileges, on-site.

It's a pain in the ass to go through the "change control" process for a patch. I'll have the FAQ added by tonight, hopefully :)
