Coffee Cups and Conversant

Dave points to my coffee cup radioFeedIcon. It was really easy to do with Conversant's Resources. I just put \radioFeedIcon\ in my template or message.

Conversant offers a LOT of options when it comes to outputting your content. Any page can have it's MIME type set, and templates (cf 1, 2) can be anything, including HTML, XML, I even tried RTF once. (No go on that one. ;–))

In the case of my RSS feed, the feed is a WeblogViewPage. The WeblogViewPage lets me create any number of ways to deliver my weblog content, in the past I've seen RSS, Avantgo, and OPML versions of Conversant weblogs using this technique.

Oh, and Dave, it's Steve, please. ;–)
