Hi. I want to create my own Atom feed file covering some informational posts on a web page. I will maintain it by hand, so I would prefer it to be as minimalistic a file as possible, yet still a valid Atom file.
This is the pattern of what I have at the moment:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<title>Gentoo Cluster Project</title>
<link type="text/html" href="http://www.indicium.us/cgi-bin/pages/get?view=cluster" />
<link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.indicium.us/feeds/gentoo.atom.xml" />

<subtitle>Building a Beowulf-Style Cluster Using Gentoo Linux</subtitle>

</feed>
Is this valid Atom, or are there any more /required/ elements?
I found Atom specification documents online, but there was so much information I felt like a rowboat on the Pacific ocean. I did not find a specific section declaring exactly what /had/ to be in a Atom feed file.
