blog update: rss feed

Blogctl now generates an rss feed along with the site.

Motivation

Since I started to read HackerNews on a daily basis, I found a bunch of blogger that I wanted to keep track of without polling. RSS seemed the right solution for this type of problem. I use the firefox extension feedbro to manage and read my feeds¹.

This worked out quite well so far. Why not providing my own feed?

Technical details

The go package gorilla/feeds provides an easy generator for RSS, atom and json.
