Good and useful RSS feeds.

Good and useful RSS feeds.

I have recently discovered a slew of useful RSS feeds of comic strips:

There is also a Penny-Arcade feed but I don’t find this one very useful because PA strips are best taken in conjunction with the accompanying news post. ideally following the links in these feeds would take you to the news post, or even to the page with the comic on it so you could follow the link to the news post. Sadly, following the links in this feed take you directly to the image file for the strip. Almost useful, but not quite.

All of these feeds are maintained by one Crschmidt. All are almost impossible to find. I found them on Live Journal’s syndication page which can’t be accessed unless you have an account and are logged in. Also almost but not quite useful enough.

My stupid DSL has gone out 3, no, make that 4 7 times as I’ve been writing this post. This is getting silly. Must be maintenance or something.

Also gleaned from the LJ syndication page.
The weblog of Neil Gaiman (RSS). And here’s a post of his about kitchens to get you started.

Comments: Good and useful RSS feeds.

Not sure if you knew about this, but there’s an official Penny Arcade feed:

At one point, I was scraping just the comics for my own feed, but I think they disabled images by referrer or some such. Just as well because I started missing the news articles, as you do. But, the above feed has items for both new news and new comics.

Try Comic Alert for several thousand comic feeds which DO link you to the comic page (vs. the image file). Works really well too.
