Tips and tricks: our RSS feeds

Yesterday I shared a few little tips on how to get more out of the Guardian's Technology website. Today I thought I'd talk a little bit about one of the little bits of magic baked in to the Guardian's website: RSS.

Tipjoy Raises $1 Million First Round For Blog Tips, Micropayments

Micropayments, tips for bloggers… The failures of the past haven’t deterred everyone. Tipjoy, a Mass.-based Y Combinator alum, has raised a $1 million first round led by Betaworks. Other investors and advisors in this round include The Accelerator Group, David Shen Ventures, Chris Sacca, Taavet Hinrikus and Ron Bouganim. How does Tipjoy plan to do it differently: Content creators set up a simple box for users to enter in a tip amount and an email address.

One tip I think he's missing is to use a master style sheet so that you clear out all the different browser quirks.
