Re: About.com have rss 1.0 feeds for every expert

I picked one at random, http://baking.about.com/mbody.htm

At the top of every page is a search.  Ensure the dropdown remains at 
its default "Search in this topic".  Search for RSS.  Select 
"deserts/baking" or whatever the topic you choose is.  Scroll down to 
the orange xml logo for "RDF Location"

http://z.about.com/6/g/baking/b/index.rdf

for delphi, its
http://z.about.com/6/g/delphi/b/index.rdf

for http://womensissues.about.com/mbody.htm
its
http://z.about.com/6/g/womensissues/b/index.rdf

the pattern is apparent, for   something.about.com, the corresponding 
RSS file is
http://z.about.com/6/g/something/b/index.rdf

They haven't done a good job at putting link tags into the html, so they 
are not really going to benefit from the traffic that would result if  
people stuck thesse feeds in aggregators, daypop,   etc.  I suspect they 
will eventually get to it.
