as mentioned before, my system and i are trying to get a blog running, but the structure weve got planned out appears to be at best ambitious and at worst impossible. essentially if we can figure out how to fill the contents of an html element with text or code from a separate file, we think it would be possible to just run the site off an rss feed -- have a single template html doc that links to articles in the feed based on the url. granted we are inexperienced with webdev so if this sounds insane dont hesitate to say so

turns out the answer is learning javascript and xml in one night. everything but the 404 page operates off a single rss.xml and a single index.html (and a lot of stylesheets). not quite finished but all the core features are done so i'll put it here! come check us out

I have been hunting for it since the day you made this, but I can NOT for the LIFE of me find the program I used to make mine
It was a portable .exe that you could load up, fill a few text boxes, and save it to your current .rss or .xml feed file. I stopped using it because i found it easier to just copy//paste a new instance in my feed.rss file than to load it, but it is what created the file for me in the first place

if ur talking about the rss feed, our solution involves a handful of non-rss tags in each item. so any automatically generated rss feed beyond one we make ourself is not going to be better than copy-pasting a template. if u do find it tho feel free 2 post it here! im sure there r more sane ppl on this forum that could make use of it

The interface is a bit janky to navigate if you're a keyboard dancer like me, and "Author" is misspelt wrong and bothers me, but otherwise it does the job
