Forgive me, I'm doing a bit of musing here to figure out if this would be a good solution... Anyone's advice and outlook would be much appreciated...
The project I'm working on is a blog portal site which is being developed and hosted by a local newspaper. Since this project is being run by the newspaper, a lot of the visitors, many of the contributors and some of the people on staff are not very technical people...
Which brings us to the age old question of, "How on earth do we make RSS user friendly?"
It really is bothering some people on staff that users can click onto a feed and see XML code. I understand their concern. Seeing the XML code is kinda scary for a non-technical user. I had a friend that I manage a blog for who kept repeatedly insisting that I delete her RSS feed because it was ugly.
My thought was to use FeedBurner to mask over the "ugly XML" and it would give some more usability because it would provide options on how to subscribe, wouldn't be so scary, etc. This is how I handled the situation with my personal blog...
However, this is different from my personal blog because my personal blog only had two feeds to have to "feedburn".... so it was easy to do some rewriting in the .htaccess file to redirect people to my feedburner feed... The application I'm working on now currently has 13 bloggers, plus 11 "category" fields, plus 44 feeds based on the location the poster is posting from, plus whatever the number of combinations of feeds you can make using taxonomy.... This is becoming complicated...
