Scott,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I found those. I was not thing that there isn’t aan RSS feed option on the digital revolution homepage, assuming that it’s updated enough to justify one. And I was surprised that the option to get the blog’s RSS/XML feeds via email isn’t provided. That’s simple to turn-on, and email is still the #1 daily web task.

Dave

There’s an RSS feed here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/digitalrevolution/rss.xml

And an ATOM one here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/digitalrevolution/atom.xml

Both are linked to from the blog.

I visited the Digital Revolution and I was the surprised by a couple of things:

> There’s no mechanism to keep updated on changes to the page.
> No feed of blog post titles, just a tiny link to the blog.
> From the blog, you only offer updates via RSS, not email, even though both Feedblitz and Feedburner provide an email option. (I’ll have to use http://www.feedmyinbox.com to get around this oversight)
