Thanks. P.S. excellent interview with Leo Laporte!

Your interview made me think of Cathedrals & Bazaars and the notion of
free riders.
I've been much of a php free rider myself, but try to find ways to give
back, usually through phpmyadmin.net
Thanks to everyone who give their time, and responses to my queries!

Not all my students have an rss reader.

RSS is just XML. Use SimpleXML to map it to a PHP object and just
print out whatever you want from it directly.
eg.
<?php
$rss = simplexml_load_file('http://jtjohnston.ca/jtjohnston.rss');
$channel = $rss->channel;
echo <<<EOB
<img src="{$channel->image->url}" style="float: right;"/>
<h1>{$channel->title}</h1>
<h2>{$channel->description}</h2>
EOB;
foreach($channel->item as $item) {
echo <<<EOB
<h3><a href="{$item->link}">{$item->title}</a> ({$item->pubDate})</h3>
{$item->description}
<br clear="left" />
<hr />
EOB;
}
?>
Very ugly HTML markup there, of course, but add a bit of CSS and make
it prettier.
