The RSS feed on the old news site broke long ago, and I didn't really understand what RSS was and why it was important, so I never fixed it. When I launched the new news section, I finally had working RSS again... but then it broke again. Well, the RSS feed is fixed once again:

Subscribe to it, if you're into that sort of thing.

So...what is RSS and why is it important?

It's a syndication feed. And it's important because um... GPF said it is?

Seriously though, it allows other blogs to run your content directly from your site, should they so desire.

Are you on drugs?

Bringing it back around...
RSS is important for two major reasons.
1. It helps search engines remain current and relevant.
2. It allows people who use RSS readers on computers and devices to view and enjoy content on this site. Those people wouldn't have known that there were updates without the RSS feed.

Ok, if it isn't drugs then I can deduce that you are either

A. Stupid
B. Retarded
C. An asshole

More likely, all 3.

Now stop trying to hijack ~~my threads~~ threads that I participate in.

Back on track:
RSS feeds aren't new, many apps can use them. I suggest everyone find more RSS info and learn about them.

Edit: Fixed, thank you for pointing out the correction UsaSatsui.
