RSS Feed? #7

Open KyeCooks opened 11 months ago

Is there any way to create a proper RSS feed? Generators mostly don't recognize the pages, and if they do, they don't pull images. I also get duplicate page updates (one that include index.html and the other without).

It could be because the pages are generated in javascript, so generators can't recognize the pages. Then again I am also new to this coding stuff so I'm looking for alternatives.

A haphazard way to do this would be to maybe make an unlisted utility page that generates the RSS XML from the current state of the site (closely related to the Archive page, maybe limited in length to the maximum of "last 10 or so days" / "last 5 or so pages") and just gives the site's admin a button to copy the XML to clipboard, then telling the admin to edit the feed.xml on neocities/whatever. Downside is that it's a thing to remember to do when updating a site.
