Blues Brothers Central now finally has full RSS feed support!

If you want to add the latest news to your RSS Reader, just visit:
Blues Brothers Central - Latest News

The feeds are hosted by Feedburner (part of Google), so they should be very reliable and compatible with most reader software.

I've modified the feeds to include the summary text from the article, plus any links that were embedded in it, and also the attached image/photo (if any).

Does anyone want the ability to subscribe via Email?

It means every time a news item is posted on the site, you would receive an email in your inbox automatically. I can add this fairly easily if someone wants it, otherwise I recommend using something like Google Reader

Oh awesome!

It seems to be working quite well so far, I'm very happy with the way Feedburner works!

Basically I have an RSS feed on this site, which Feedburner downloads every half hour or so.
It then changes all the links to have tracking tags (so I can track which articles people click on!) and also makes it more compatible with other readers/formats.
It's much easier to click "Add to My Yahoo" or "Subscribe in Google" than to copy and paste the URL of the RSS Feed!

I'll keep it going a little longer and then see how the stats are tracking. I use RSS feeds to get the latest news from Protoncharging.com and Gateworld.net, it's easier than visiting the site every day to see if there's been any news

Feedback welcome, as always :D
