“Look Ma! I'm syndicated!”

Wow.

Sydic8.com [1] has been pulling my RSS (Rich Site Summary) [2] file for some time now, but I didn't realize it would actually display [3] the contents of the file. It is interesting to see my blog using a different layout than one I created. My complaint about the way it's being presented at Sydic8.com is the lack of distinction between each entry. Other than that, it doesn't look all that bad although I can see a potential problem where an entry has a very long title and a very short body.

Also, in looking over the page, I found yet another small bug—for the RSS (Rich Site Summary) feed, I (supposedly) check each URL (Uniform Resource Locator) and if it's relative to this site [4] I change it to an abolute URL so the links will still work in a foreign environment.

Only it looks like I missed a few local links.
