[pmwiki-users] RSS feeds: description tag as "content", and auto-discovery

[Roman]

I've noticed that you've changed ampersand with question marks. Proper
link should be

http://www.xradiograph.com/wrottings?action=rss&group=-pmwiki,-site,-main,-contributions,-profiles,-Category&name=-RecentChanges,-Template,-GroupHeader,-GroupFooter

I also suggest to make an alias for RSS link that would be more
stable. When someone subscribes to your current link and later you
change the way how you generate the feed, readers will not adapt to
this change.

You can make an alias in .htaccess

RewriteRule ^index\.xml$
?action=rss&group=-pmwiki,-site,-main,-contributions,-profiles,-Category&name=-RecentChanges,-Template,-GroupHeader,-GroupFooter
[NC]

and then offer link http://www.xradiograph.com/index.xml

or you can use external service like www.feedburner.com to make a link
in form of http://www.feedburner.com/xradiograph. I offers more than
this.
