However, the folks here at wp.com have decided that having an RSS feed on a page would create too many problems (sploggers). And with 61 bills in my portfolio, an RSS feed in my sidebar would be WAY too long.

Even so, I am truly loving Richmond Sunlight.

And you can plug-in RSS based on “tags” from Richmond Sunlight.

This is not a shameless plug I promise but you can check one out here.

Waldo has created an incredible resource and opened it up for general use, including providing some APIs for incorporating his work into other websites.

The Daily Press is using it here. I wish the Pillot would do something like this southside.

Anyway… its a great tool. Thanks Waldo!!!

also note that Waldo has enabled RSS for both comments and photosynthesis.

I’ll let Waldo explain that.. but basically if you use a RSS Reader, you’ll get automatic notification on the bills that have “moved”.

I think I have that right… look for the little orange square…

I was so enthusiastic about it that I just assumed everyone would head over and sign up. Hopefully, this post and your page about it will clear up the confusion.

I’ve been working today on a proper page to explain Photosynthesis. Though hundreds of people have signed up, many people have had to contact me to ask how much it costs, how it works, etc. Clearly I need a page on the site that explains what the heck it is. :)
