Well, this is sort of cool. I've been lead to an article about writing an RSS reading using Ajax and PHP, which is exactly what BlogWatcher is. I've only skimmed it so far, but it looks similar to what I've done, at least on a basic level. Maybe I'll be able to get some pointers to improve my code.

OK. I think I've gotten the last of the Internet Explorer related bugs taken care of in BlogWatcher, my Ajax-based rss/news reader.

The changes to BlogWatcher have been completed. There are now two new feeds available on the right side of the subscription page. They are labeled "BlogWatcher Tagged Good Posts" and "BlogWatcher Tagged Posts". The first will include the 20 most recently tagged posts where the average rating is "good" or "very good". The second includes the 20 most recently tagged posts, no matter what the rating (in case you want to see the posts people tagged as "bad."
