How happy was I when I saw about 10 posts from Jenny today?! I was so thrilled that I was doing her patented happy dance through the stacks of my 11th Floor law library. You should have seen me. Welcome back Jenny (I know, she wasn't really gone, but she hasn;t been posting as much as she used to, right?)
Anyway, Jenny linked to the new edition of LLRX which had taken a longer hiatus. Welcome back Sabrina!!
Somehow in the transition from Newzcrawler to Syndirella to Radio, the LLRX RSS Feed had gotten lost. OK. There we go, back safe in my aggregator.
Psst...Jenny...I am quickly becoming an RSS Bigot. Almost every site that I read now has an RSS Feed or I have created one with Stapler. Walt must be covering his eyes and shaking his head grumbling, "Oh No!! Not another one"
Even though I can't get Walt's incredible newsletter in my aggregator, I still read it religiously. Although maybe I should start prodding Walt to provide some sort of feed. By the look of his front page or the archives page, I may be able to create one. Any interest, Walt?
C'mon Walt, come on over to the dark side...

As for the issues themselves, they're single PDFs, each about a quarter meg. You really, truly don't want to get them as part of a feed.
And, let's face it, I'm not a web technical hotshot: The site design should make that obvious.
You did get one thing: The cleanest way to pick up each new issue, and ONLY each new issue (ignoring PC Values), is to look for changes on the archive/all-issues page. It's conceivable that I'd make mid-issue changes to the home page (like making it spiffier, although that's not a high priority), but now that I've changed the all-issues site from a "previous-volumes" site to a complete index/table, it gets changed when and only when issues are released.
Like either tonight or tomorrow night, for example.
