Is there an RSS feed for the main site (the news 'blog' posts)?

Hi. Pretty new to this place!

I'd like to subscribe to the main flyertalk.com (non-forum) news. I don't see an RSS feed for the site, is there one?

RSS is a great tool (used by many who have discovered its wonders), and uniquely provides a way to keep abreast of certain content (without wasting time manually checking for updates, and without losing it like twitter feed clients either - it stays in your rss client until YOU read it), and gives a relieving second inbox away from our already clogged up email inboxes. Email is good for most people who are not so tech savvy, but for those who are, IMO it's much better for one-way receiving of news and blog posts on the internet.

I use the Feedly Cloud RSS service and gReader on my Android device so I use the cloud for checking on desktop and gReader for my phone. Incredibly convenient and great!

If there's no current RSS feed, would the site consider adding one? (I'm sure it's dead easy!)

Thanks.

I'll ditto that request! It's a real pain to have to sift thru ALL the messages in ALL of the forums when you're only interested in a few.

˄ Oh, I'm not talking about the forums, though I am also a big fan of forum rss feeds too . (I actually do this a lot with certain other forums I'm at.) - although, when googling for 'flyertalk.com rss' in general I think I found some rss feeds for forum areas anyway?? (I found this yahoo pipes feed e.g.)...but if it's only external hack-y solutions that I was seeing, then yes I agree, individual forum section RSS feeds would be very needed also!

Though bertsirkin (in the OP) I'm talking about the non-forum 'blog' site area, where at www.flyertalk.com, under 'The Latest' there's these really useful and cool articles that I see.

I can see they come from different sources (even different sites for some of them - frequentflyer.com and frugaltravelguy.com), but it shouldn't bee too hard to collate them in a 'FlyerTalk Blog' conglomerate RSS news feed! Any 'blog' without an RSS feed is just not good Internetting!
