Feeds made easy to understand – for everyone
I really love feeds. I love news feeds, podcasts, photocasts, all that fancy feed stuff, i really do 
The only drawback on feeds is, you need to use a feedreader or a modern browser with the ability to display the RSS/Atom feed in a human readable manner. For that i personally use Flock, but Safari is good as well, even Firefox has some basic display of feeds. But what do all the “not-power users” out there with their Windows Internet Explorer 6 or similar “browser” do?
Some weeks ago a really cool project i was involved in with podcasting was stopped in the last minute, because the people in charge were afraid that the users can’t deal with the raw xml output in their browsers – and they were right, people don’t want to see the XML code, the feed has to be readable.
For this problem, we need to use XSLT and CSS to style our feeds, while keeping the code machine readable. A good starting point can be found here:

I will try that out and will post my experience with XSLT later in this article, so stay tuned.
