I'm confused. According to this Slashcode FAQ entry>, I should be able to pull an RSS feed for any user's journal. But I'll be damned if I can make it work. I keep getting a redirect when I try the URL the docs say to use.

Anyone know what magic incantation I'm missing? According to the docs, I ought to be able to get Matt's journal feed by using this url:

http://use.perl.org/journal.pl?op=rss&uid=Matts

But, as I said, it redirect me to this url instead:

http://use.perl.org/search.pl?op=journals

Grr.

If you do a view source on any journal entry or journal index page, there's no obvious link tag pointing to an RSS feed either.

That's out of date. You need to use:

http://use.perl.org/journal.pl?content_type=rss&uid=10878

Ugh, it's be nice if the title wasn't

use Perl Journals

and was instead maybe something like

use Perl Journal - {username}

Otherwise, if you subscribe to more than one, it can get quite confusing.
