RSS is a transport format. Similar to the old stock tickers. It's a live feed. When content changes, or is updates, it is supposed to push that info out to your newsreader client.

When you open the FR page in a new tab, it shows all the recent posts. Instead of downloading an RSS add-on, I was trying to reconfigure Firefox to auto-update just that one tab. It won't. I then tried a couple of different RSS apps and didn't like the looks of them...

meh...

I tried to “Subscribe” the FR RSS feed to my Google Reader, and it barfed back about there being no RSS feed on the page. Sounds like it’s “close, but no cigar”.

Hang five, though. I’m sure JimRob ‘ll get it wrangeld into shape pretty soon, here.
