RSS <webMaster> element Jan25 '05
For those who roll their own RSS feeds, do you use the available <webMaster> element, which includes an email address?
<webMaster> is a child element of the base <channel>.
The reason I ask is because using the <webMaster> element means hardcoding an email address to a page, and that obviously means more spam.
Maybe I’m just being paranoid, but ever since I started having a few of my own RSS feeds, for various sections of this site, I seem to have noticed an increase in spam.
Call me crazy.
