Support for Email newsletters

Open thelazyoxymoron opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Hi,

Love this theme. I'm currently using it for my blog. I tried to integrate some kind of email newsletter service (using MailChimp or Tinyletter), but almost every method requires a RSS feed for the service to work. Is there any way that we can generate a RSS feed of the content?

@siddhugolu, Aether does support RSS. The RSS XML file is located at /index.xml on your site. I think RSS support could be improved though so I will work on that.

@josephhutch Cool! I was able to get the feed working. However, as you also mentioned, there are some improvements that are required for parsing the feed. Currently, when I pass the feed given by my site's /index.xml, it only generates a shortened version of the post (only the first paragraph in my 'About Me' section) and without any image. I've attached a screenshot on how the feed currently looks on a feed reader app on mobile.

Let me know whether I can be of any help in improving this :)

@siddhugolu, adding the featuredimage to rss is next on my list. I will work on that today :)
