Hi,

Any chance to get a RSS Feed ?
A blog without feed isn't really a blog.

Yes, I'm considering a RSS (Really Simple Syndiation) feed. Great concept and it might help to attract a few more overseas readers. The target audience of this totally local-only blog is almost exclusively people who know Lamma, live here or have at least visited Lamma once. So I'm not really concerned very much to build up a huge international audience.

(For the vast majority of people who don't know RSS:
RSS would feed the Lamma-zine blog headlines into a syndication feed for programs that collate daily headlines from several blogs into one page. These programs are used by some of the people who want to follow a number of blogs regulalrly without having to visit all the blog websites every day).


But the FrontPage publishing & complex formatting of my blog is intentionally not automated yet to keep it totally flexible and for a number of other good reasons. Without this automation, it would be quite a big & hand-made programming effort to add RSS feeds to my blog.

It's not currently a top priority, as very few blogs and very few site visitors from Hong Kong use RSS so far. If I find a more powerful automated blogging software, more powerful than all the usual choices I've looked at, I'll surely use its RSS feeds, which will hopefully be automatic & simple to add.

So, as a blog visitor from France (?), what did you think about the actual CONTENT of the blog, besides this one missing feature? :P

I'm living in Hong Kong and go to lamma from time to time.
We are looking to move in Lamma (one of our destination) and I was searching for rent and property stuff.

I didn't spend that much time to read the blog content. The two first articles "Become a Lamma Dragon!" and "Lovely Lamma Ladies" are clearly about Lamma community and I'm not in the community (not yet) so I just look and pass.
The presentation is clean.

If you care about the audience, the feed is important.
