Take notice of some of the new folders/files included with +the default project. You'll also see updated instructions in the README +to help with testing and local development. + + +QUALITY OF LIFE +--------------- + +In addition to the first major patch, I've included basic styling to +properly render the RSS feed directory in supported browsers. To see it +in action, simply check out: + +https://shinobi.website/feed.xml + +The styles are included in the new `rss.css` file of the shinobi +project. The current layout is taken from Len Falken's main +directory[2]. Feel free to change this to however you see fit! I've +kept them consistent with the remainder of the project, but there is +nothing stopping you from including things like XSLT. + +To reflect these changes, I've updated some of the details found in the +original "SIMPLE GUIDE FOR CREATING YOUR OWN SHINOBI.WEBSITE"[3] + + +TESTING, TESTING, TESTING +------------------------- + +I'm trying my best to test every RSS reader available to me. My main +machine is running macOS and my phone iOS, thus making me somewhat +limited in my access to other OS-specific RSS applications. Even still, +I've added a growing list to the project README documenting readers +that have been tested, along with their support "grade". Feel free to +include your own testing in tickets or patches on your own! + +That is really all there is to say. Enjoy your week! + + +LINKS +----- + +[0]: https://matthewgraybosch.com +[1]: +https://git.sr.ht/~tdarb/shinobi-script/log?from=7e2f8bd312d648ff1c8d3cf +dc747d2e5634100d7#log-7e2f8bd312d648ff1c8d3cfdc747d2e5634100d7 +[2]: http://len.falken.directory +[3]: https://shinobi.website/posts/create-your-own-shinobi-website.txt + + +*** + +Thanks for reading, +-- Brad + |
