Feed Icons-The new standard feed icon is the one on Mozilla Firefox and its live bookmarks. I finally implemented these on the site; now we need a standard way of putting them into an RSS reader.

One of my inspirations for building this site, Jason Kottke, has a cool way of posting about the movies he’s watched. I’m attempting to add something similiar to this site, using the Rate My Stuff plugin. Two movies are listed below. I’m still tweaking and perfecting this though.

King Kong (2005)
