Did you notice that the URLs I supplied yesterday for the RSS feeds weren't links? This was on purpose! The reason being that Domino can't render XML. By this I mean that, although the page called "rss-articles.xml" is enabled with "Treat contents as HTML" property and contains nothing but strict XML, Domino can only return the content-type "text/html" to the browser. What I really wish they would do is give us the ability to specify any content-type we like. Instead of a tick-box for "Treat content as HTML" I want a text-box where I enter whatever I need to. Iris! I've done half the job for you and re-jigged your Page Properties dialog box:

This is something I discussed in an interview I'm doing at the moment for DominoZone.net, where I'm asked what the one thing I wish they would put in Domino 6 was.

I've always moaned about the huge lack of any decent websites aimed soley at Domino developers. For a while I've even been confident enough to say that I led the market ;-) I may have spoken too soon - my competition is here now ;-(

Drum-role please. The newly-launched NotesTips.com is here...

The main man behind it is my new colleague and a very talented developer, Mike Golding. Expect to see some decent content in the near future. He has many of the same ideals as I do when it comes to what you should and shouldn't do. The fact that we communicate on a daily basis will hopefully mean that there is very little duplicate content or toe-treading.
