Revamped Pseudo-Podcast

After the raw horror of not wasting all my time faffing about on the computer, I spent this morning wasting some time writing an XSLT template to transform the RSS feed that is Submit Response Radio.

Thanks to the XSLT magic, the feed is not only styled with CSS so it looks nice in a web browser, it now also has clickable links to the files, so that those who prefer not to ‘podcatch’ can use the feed as if it were a web page, clicking to download the songs. (Come to think of it, it would be nice gimmick to serve up a weblog entirely in RSS or Atom, using XSLT to re-purpose the XML feeds as web pages.)

Anyway, in celebration, I will now be posting a new MP3 or AAC file to the little radio station every Friday, instead of hardly ever at all, starting today with Psychic TV’s cover version of Only Love Can Break Your Heart.

If anyone would like to join in, email me the MP3 of your choice with ‘SRR: the artist - the song title’ in the subject field and a brief description of the song in the body.
