__ Handwriting your RSS feed __
A short guide for updating your RSS feed like you update your handmade website

Do you write your HTML by hand? Have you ever wondered if you could keep an RSS feed similarly - no management software, only a webhost and a text editor?

I've written a barebones guide to handwritten RSS. It's so, so, easy.

@abundance been doing it for a while now, but I didn’t realize it could be as pared down as yours. Thanks!

@abundance I did that for years, before I installed a CMS, because I though it was cool. Finally some retroactive validation 💜

@abundance We wrote a blog post about doing handwritten Atom feeds just recently - I think they're fussier but both are pretty easy to make!

Been doing this the hard way since the second episode.
