A dude I know who goes by the handle "Flavor" suggested that I should add an RSS feed so the smart people out there will know when I post an update. I've kind of avoided learning anything about RSS all these years since it seemed like something I didn't need in order to live my life, BUT I have actually seen some in-the-know (ie not clueless and scared of change like me) people who use it and seem to perform modern miracles thanks to it. So I finally looked into it (did you know it stands for "Really Simple Syndication"? How cute!) and managed to whip up an RSS feed for A*, which you'll find linked with that handy little radar-like icon at the far-right end of the grey news menu bars on the news page.
As far as my just-learned-it-today RSS knowledge can tell, it's working correctly, but please let me know if something about it isn't working right, and I'll try to get it fixed up (except for some of the older news not having a date that validates in certain readers, I know about that and it'll fix itself eventually--I just now figured out how to make time zones work in Perl! >_<).
I learned most of what I think I know (or at least copy-and-pasted :p) from this page and this page.
