Skateboarder's New Trick is to Promote RSS

The RSS Blog now has a favorite freestyle skateboarder. Tony Gale is making sure that visitors to the website of his professional association know about RSS:

I've been working on the website for the WFSA -- the World Freestyle Skateboarding Association -- for the best part of a year.

It has become very apparent that next to no one knows what RSS is these days (or realizes that it still exists), and I think that needs to change -- so this is now on the sidebar for every article on the site.

RSS is the most useful tool possible for getting away from the "siloification" of the internet. It needs to be more widely used!

Here's a screenshot showing how Gale is promoting RSS. Great job!
