RSS feeds from the new site

Edit: for anyone who finds this through a site search... since this blog was created, Garage Games has provided official RRS feeds that replace this one.

Is it just me, or is the new site not sending out RSS feeds yet for new blog/plan posts? If you're busy like me and require feeds to stay on top of the daily flood of new information, I've created one that should work for now. Copy/paste this link into your feed reader:

http://www.dapper.net/transform.php?dappName=GarageGamesCommunityBlogs&transformer=RSS&extraArg_title=GG_Community_Blog_Titles&extraArg_description[]=GG_Community_Blog_Descriptions&applyToUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.garagegames.com%2Fcommunity%2Fblogs

Works great for me in Bloglines. If you need a format other than RSS (Atom, XML, etc), you can go here, but you'll need to understand how to use Dapper to create it.

Yeah ... I am still waiting patiently for the RSS Feeds to be reactivated ... I have had to disable all mine for now ... tired of getting a whole host of error messages.

Hopefully these will come back real soon ... thanks for your link Russel.

Sorry, I just realized that the text won't wrap on that link in some browsers, and for some reason my work computer isn't letting me edit the post. If you really want it, you'll have to copy the text on the page and dig the link out in a text program.

Also, I originally tried to add it as a hyperlink, but the site didn't like all the []s in the URL and wouldn't allow it. Is there a markup tag for keeping text from becoming a hypertext link?
