Blogs

This page tells you how to configure the template for creating RSS for your site. RSS is a news syndication standard. BlogMax creates RSS that is similar to that created by Radio Userland. By my limited understanding, this is not quite up to the standard, but it appears to work.

Copy the rss-template.xml file from this site to your site's root directory, and edit it to describe your site. Here's that file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="0.91">
  <channel>
