Ah. I was just looking for an RSS file. *sigh*

A while back there was talk about standard ways to indicate that an RSS file is
available. I'm beginning to think that the best way to do this is with a
multi-pronged approach:

* a link tag or meta tag
  <link type="application/rss+xml" href="...">
  or whaterver
* a content-type for RSS files, so user-agents can start to figure out how to  
 handle them
* a convention of a well-recognized logo linking to a page explaining the rss  
 file(s)'s availability.
