The VO news page now features RSS/Atom support.
As mentioned here:
http://www.vendetta-online.com/h/news.html
(and seen at the top of the page). A long-requested feature, now available, thanks to Momerath.
Atom should be preferred, for anyone with modern feed software (better layout). RSS is more of a legacy option.

Awesome!
I'll be interested to hear some usage feedback. I don't personally use feeds, and am largely unaware of any pros/cons therein. We tried to walk the best line of compatibility vs layout by supporting both standards, but I'm still curious how it works for people.
It looks a bit out of place.
How about putting it at the bottom like this? http://kitchen.nfshost.com/ven/news.html/news.html
This is the html for it.. I hope that's atleast somewhat correct..
<table class="fixedwidth" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tbody><tr align="right"><td class="newsHead1" width="100%"> </td><td class="newsHead1"><img src="news_files/rss.png"></td><td class="newsHead2"><a href="http://www.vendetta-online.com/h/news_rss.xml">RSS</a></td><td class="newsHead2"><a href="http://www.vendetta-online.com/h/news_atom.xml">Atom</a></td></tr>

Because that would require someone to scroll to the bottom of our sometimes-gigantic news page. I do like the way you integrated it into the bar dealie, though.
Wooohooo :D
It'd be nice if you had an alternate <link> in the header so that browsers can pick it up automagically.
Add the following inside your <head> on that page:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="http://www.vendetta-online.com/h/news_rss.xml" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.vendetta-online.com/h/news_atom.xml" />

Yeah, I considered that. Right now it pushes the actual content down though and I assumed that somebody who wants that feed would look around for a it.
I don't really want to start an argument.. so whatever.

The RSS feed and Atom feeds work perfectly. In FF I can't seem to get the Atom one to work like it should but in an actual Atom/RSS reader it works great.
The feeds fail on validation but doesn't matter so much as long as they work :)

The bit where all of the entries have the same ID might make some readers barf at updates, though.
aww crap ...the forum stripped out the html entity when I edited the post.
If you want to have the filler box look like the other ones replace the first td
<td class="newsHead1" width="100%"> </td> with <td class="newsHead1" width="100%"> </td>
The align="right" before that is redundant too. I wanted to do this differently at first and forgot to remove that.
