Cricket Web RSS Feeds

Cool, I subscribed.

BTW, most sites that have an RSS feed that I visit put a little icon in the far right of the address window to let users know instantly that it's available, but I don't see one at cricketweb.net. Maybe it needs a style tag or something in the header?

Think it might be something like:

Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="/rss/" />
or

Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="/rss/latestnews.xml" />
or along those lines, anyway. Might need to cover a few mime types, I dunno.

Also, here is the wikipedia page which has 3 universally recognised icons/symbols for RSS -
,
and
. I personally like the last one the best as it clearly states RSS and had used it on my site as well.

Ah, I see.

Was no biggie, really - I clicked on the link more by accident than anything else, and was just making a report in case there was an error. :)
