PirillOPML
Great post over here from Chris Pirillo about OPML. I think there’s going to be a whole lot of new info emerging to explain OPML to the masses. I’m putting together some info over here too, as it happens.
Another VERY COOL thing is that the OPML output from Chris’ Gada.be metasearch site works in the OPML and RSS system I have cooking here. Veeeery nice 😉
I think maybe I’ll drop Chris a line and ask if I could incorporate a gada.be search into ‘treedia’ 😉 That would be cool. I can’t imagine he’d mind.
BTW: I think I must have some kind of cyber-mind-meld going on with Chris at the moment, as the other day I was thinking about adding favicons to the output pages of treedia/podcast.com searches, after realising that the browsers supported them in html (when did that happen? was I asleep?). Then, lo and behold, Chris posts to his blog about the very same thing. Weird. Cool!
Do all browsers support a .ico image in the html as an img tag? If so, this makes life very cool, because people (was it MS?) decided to make sure that to have an icon in the address bar of a browser, while on a webiste, the image MUST be called favicon.ico, and stored in the wbe root. Therefore it’s a cinch to find them 🙂 Hurrah!
You’d better incorporate it. 😉
Oh, crap – I can send you the PHP we’re using for the favicon stuff. We wanted to open source it anyway – and I know it still needs a few kinks worked out (Digg, FeedBurner, etc.).
hehe. cool!
Not strictly true about the location of favicon.ico, the href tag of the shortcut icon link can point anywhere. Also take a look here for some info on Opera handling page icons (not sure if this is hugely relevant though?):
