Syndication Notice: A TextPattern Plugin

I recently stumbled across the blog of Mike Davidson -- I can't remember how -- and while there are plenty of interesting articles there, the one that caught my eye was about [people not using syndication feeds](http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2007/08/adding-a-subscribe-bar-to-your-blog). Apparently many readers just visit a blog every now and then to check for new content, unaware that RSS and Atom feeds exist. Mike's solution is beautifully simple: add a message at the top of the page explaining that feeds are available and what they do. I liked it enough to turn it into a TextPattern plugin. You can grab it with Git: ```bash git clone http://barkingiguana.com/~craig/syndication_notice.git/ ``` Installation is straightforward, if a bit spartan on documentation at the moment. You'll need to modify TextPattern's `publish/rss.php` and `publish/atom.php` scripts for proper feed integration -- specifically, append `?source=feed` to the end of each href. If there's demand, I'll write up more detailed instructions for the next release.
