Does Bogley have a feed?

For example like http://socaltrailriders.org?

If not, it would be a great feature for some of us who want to consolidate review of new posts.

We have our recent posts on the right side of the front page, www.bogley.com. It is just formatted a little different from socaltrailriders, but I believe it's grabbing the feed every 15 minutes.

Thanks -- actually I noticed on the homepage there is an RSS feed. But... for whatever reason it only pulls admin messages every few days or so. What I had in mind was an RSS feed for each forum post.

The reason RSS is great is that I can read the posts in Google Reader with all my other news. Moreover, I can quickly skip the posts I don't want to read and read the ones I do -- all without having to navigate around the forum itself. Of course, you only typically see the first post of thread, but generally you can tell if you are interested or not on the first post and subscribe to the thread thereafter.

On the homepage, unless you log in every 15 minutes, you will miss posts.

Not a huge deal. And how can I justifiably whine about this site? It is great!! I suppose it is just a feature request at some point to have an RSS feed for the forums. That way I never miss a post or a trip report!!

Cheers.
