Description:
------------
There is a feature in the Firefox, Opera and Safari browsers that's called Live Bookmarking. It allows you to simply click a button on the GUI and bookmark an RSS feed. Then the contents of that feed is automatically updated, so that you can view the it in-browser. The only thing that's required for it to work is a small piece of code in the <head> tag of the document:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor" href="http://dk2.php.net/news.rss" />

The thing you write about is called RSS Autodiscovery, and was not invented by any of the browser vendors, they just implement it... Luckily :) I have added RSS Autodiscovery support to our frontpage in CVS. It will show up later on our mirror sites around the world.

Thanks for the tip.

I know they didn't invent it (isn't it a W3C standard or something?), but it's implemented as a feature in them.

Thanks for setting it up :)
