      A few of you have been asking for RSS feeds, so I spent some time this evening researching just how to go about setting that up. After several hours of bug fixing and moving things around, I'm happy to report that two feeds are now available for your RSS viewing pleasures. You'll see them linked over in the left column, but here they are for people like me that demand bolded links right up front:Take your pick! For those curious to try out RSS on their desktop PC, I've been using FeedReader for testing purposes. It can be set up to monitor NNDD feeds at regular intervals and inform you when new stuff is added.

    I welcome your comments in the TalkBalk section. Right now I have it set up to show 30 items in each feed. Is that too many, not enough, etc?
