Comic Strip RSS Feeds

Posted on December 7, 2004

uberwald - Attention all Web Comic artists, etc:

I don’t know if you’re aware of RSS (Really Simple Syndication), or the benefits that it can offer you as a provider of content on the internet. Personally, I read about 45 comic strips online, all but one of which is a web-only comic. A handful of these comic strips offer an RSS feed which my syndicator checks at least daily, if not a little more often, and tells me when there’s a new strip, or in the case of the better feeds, a new strip OR rant from the author. The rest of my strips I check with a one click bookmark set that I check at least daily, downloading the entire front page of your comic strip. I don’t know how many of you have measured the size of your main page (or comic page, if it’s possible to direct link to that), but I can guarantee that it’s a hell of a lot bigger than an RSS feed would be.

I agree! But in the mean time, Comic Alert! provides RSS feeds for most online comics in a personalised feed (which I think is a bad way to do it, but that’s for another time).
