Quick note to say that I’ve got RSS feeds for our blogs now. If you don’t know what that means, you probably don’t care. And if you do know, there’s a good chance you still don’t care.
Kip’s RSS feed
Steph’s RSS feed
Both blogs’ RSS feed
There will be links at the bottom of the page later, but for now you can use those.
Update
Upon learning of Firefox’s automatic live bookmark (very cool feature by the way), I retooled the RSS feed so that now there’s a feed for both blogs (as well as the original two).

Finally...The image I wanted to put here, heh.
You should add the Firefox link thingy too. It’s one little line and it’s good stuff.

you cant post HTML? thats crazy... I was trying to post the code to make it work in firefox, but no-can-do... htmlentities() is the function you are looking for there...
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”Vacant-Nebula RSS” href=”http://www.vacant-nebula.com/rss.php?user=1” />
^^ w00t, got it.

You have to escape your angle brackets... that way people can do bold and italics.

Okay, now I’ve gone and made this really elaborate alternative to strip_tags, that escapes the html on disallowed tags. So your <link> post would work if you did it again. But if you type <b>, you’ll still get bold.
And if you’re interested, you can see the function I wrote here. It’s kind of a monster. You can also see a page where I tested it here (but that link will probably come down soon).
The function could have been a lot more efficient if I had implemented a finite state machine, rather than 14 different calls to preg_replace(). Especially since (I think, don’t quote me on this) a regular expression parser is a FSM itself, then the regular expression matcher is yet another FSM. Of course, regular expressions and FSM’s tend to be write-only code, even if well-commented. But I digress.</b>

That Firefox link thing is pretty cool. I’ve always wondered who actually used live bookmarks, they seemed so awkward to set up. And I never noticed the little orange icon on the bottom of the screen (well now its on the top).
