Blog: make the RSS feed easier to find #56

Closed zephyr closed 7 years ago

zephyr commented 8 years ago

Right now, there is no indication on the blog (or anywhere else on the homepage) that there’s an RSS feed for the blog posts.

To subscribe to it, you have to go to the source on github, see that there’s an feed.xml template, infere the correct feed url (http://www.gopherjs.org/feed.xml) and type it into your RSS reader. That’s not really userfriendly; in fact, i think that the majority of RSS users will just miss the feed.

To fix this, please add this line to the blog’s html <header>:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="GopherJS Blog" href="http://www.gopherjs.org/feed.xml" />

(some browsers are able to detect this), and add to the html <body> something like:

<a href="http://www.gopherjs.org/feed.xml" target="_blank">
    <img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/43/Feed-icon.svg" alt="RSS Feed of GopherJS"/>
</a>

It doesn't have to be big, but it should be somewhere for these who want to find it.

Thank you in ahead, this whole project is really great!

Thanks for reporting this issue and making a suggestion for how to fix it.

I don't use RSS, which is why I never noticed or paid attention to this. But I agree this is currently problematic and we can improve it.

@zephyr, I made PR #59 to resolve this. Does it look good to you?

zephyr commented 7 years ago

Yes, this looks very good to me. Thank you for the fix!
