thanks for sharing! I also run https://www.aboutfeeds.com which is a simple "explainer" for those new to RSS

the limitation of feed styling is that it requires custom http headers:

  Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8  # not application/rss+xml
  x-content-type-options: nosniff

and so it doesn't work on GitHub Pages, which is otherwise my go-to for building + hosting static sites.

so... if anyone from GitHub is reading this, please make it possible to tweak the page headers! (and if you know anyone there, please pass on this request :)

or you can use XSLT, no headers required https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3770-using-xslt-and-xml-transf...

I never realised this - thanks!

It feels like by adding styling I could make those who click on the “feed” link, but don’t yet know what RSS is have a much better experience than seeing unstyled XML and being confused.
