add an RSS/Atom feed to the blog

Not sure where else to report this; please close this if this is the wrong place!

It'd be great to have an RSS and/or Atom feed for the blog, so people would have an easier time following along in their favorite feed reader.

There's one here: https://discourse.janitor.technology/c/propaganda/blog.rss

I agree it would be nice to add a link on the blog page though.

Oh cool, thank you!

I looked for it on the page itself, and then went poking in the HTML source for one, and didn't see it referenced in either place. Even just putting it in the HTML source as a <link> would be an improvement!

Great idea! I know that @jryans also asked about this.

Thanks a lot @nt1m for digging up the Discourse RSS feed! If that works well enough we should totally add a link to it on our blog page, e.g. on the top right corner.

Thanks, this feed link seems like it works for me as well.

(Is the blog just a view of the Discourse category? Quite interesting, don't think I have seen such an approach before.)

Cool, thanks for trying it!

Yes.

Specifically, /blog-new/ pulls posts from our Discourse category /propaganda/blog:published, while /blog/ is just raw HTML. (All /*-new/ pages will replace the old ones once we enable our new website design.)

Huh, should we close this now that https://github.com/JanitorTechnology/janitor/pull/353 is merged?

[nt1m]

@notriddle No, there's no user visible link on the blogs page yet.
