Hi,

Please let me know if this isn't the right list for this...

I have a couple of 'enhancements' that I would like to suggest for 
the Blitzed news RSS feed.

I've started using RSS agregators a bit recently and it's great that 
Blitzed provide an RSS feed in the first place, but it could do 
with a couple of changes to make it really usable if possible:

1. Please include text of news item within <description> tags

   The Blitzed RSS feed currently does not include the actual text
   of the news item. Instead the only thing I see in my agregator
   is the title of the item, and a link to get the full news item.
   Clearly it would be much nicer if you could provide the actual
   text of the news item between <description> </description> tags.

2. Please include a <pubDate> section for each news item

   This will allow my agregator to display the correct publishing
   date of each news item (instead of just giving the item the 
   date/time that I collected it).

I don't suppose that there are many RSS users out there yet, but for 
those few of us that are out there, your consideration of these 
enhancements would be appreciated :-)

Thanks,
Matt (Eyecon)
