Why don’t you make a RSS with all these links. You might use a special tag in del.icio.us….

As far as I can tell, it’s a complete listing of Mark’s delicious bookmarks. You should be able to subscribe with the usual feed.
I just read the 2003 article “How to Consume RSS Safely”. I am a newbie Feedburner client. I tested the validity of my original feed from a link in the Feedburner Dashboard - (which took me to Feed Validator)
The Feed Validator report said I had some attributes in my feed which could cause some problems for readers of my feed. So I clicked the “Help” link in this report and saw a huge great list of stuff to strip from my feed.
Ok. So now I’m terrified and frustrated. But, a glutton for punishment, I click another link for “Security Conscious Clients” and get to the Dive Into Mark article mentioned above (2003).
What a bad trip.
As a (new) Blogger user I have meta tags in my template (blog meta data and other stuff for Google bots use them), onblur tags (put there by Blogger when I upload an image to my blog). And HTML? Well, dang, my posts are FULL of it. Of course I use
(contd.) Of course I use
(contd.) Of course I use embed tags - when I want to put up a YouTube video for instance, and script tags, and javascript ? - well - my posts would be down right dull without them. I wouldn’t have my beloved “expand” and “collapse” functionality on each individual post on my blog without them.
Maybe I am lost, and you people are talking about something my newbie brain doesn’t even know about yet - (In which case perhaps the trail of links I described should either be erased or have some road signs for newbies added to it).
I don’t know if you are suggesting taking all of these tags and html out of my blog posts and template - (I am no programmer so that’s the only way I could think of to eliminate them from my feed) - but if so - then you are crazy! I ain’t doin’ it!
I suppose, for me, the visual stuff is as important as the written content - and without those tags - the visual elements (images, styling, functionality like peek-a-boo posts etc) would be zip.
Anyway, just thought I’d add my two cents.

Thanks Matt
