From Websnark-land, Eric writes about some gender stereotype stuff teeing off the kinds of emailed questions Wednesday White gets compared to his own in-box. Eric gets questions, Wednesday gets women-related stuff. That's a shame if true because I know for a fact that Wednesday is brilliant. It's Eric, I'm still not sure about :)
Be sure to check out a great list of women creators and commentators Eric includes in his post - I'd highly recommend checking all of them out (and would regardless of their chromosome composition for that matter).
(Also while Wednesday has indeed written great stuff on RSS, I have to point out that I wrote the first one that I'm aware of... )

It's linked
That article, to be fair, is linked right from Weds' post, but the link is broken by the Drupal move. Far as I know, it was the first, and props for that-- for my part, my point in bringing hers up and not that one is, first that we tread a lot of the same ground there with different slants and perspectives, and second that I was linking back to Weds because she gets into the meat and potatoes of how it works more than I could.
I didn't know, when writing my blog thing, that either existed-- I was just driven by to distraction by the fact that I kept hearing from people the same old thinking of 'update regularly or die' and I thought RSS was under-appreciated. I figured other people had mentioned it, I'm glad more people appreciate it. I don't know why more people don't bring it to the table when discussing the practicalities of web publishing, it's one of the few purely web-driven advantages we have. Probably still be wondering that years from now. *sigh* Every time an artist goes, 'Well I would do much better work, but it's too hard to meet my update schedule' the baby jesus cries and a kitten dies. :-p
