 [http://www.pidgin.im/~seanegan/blog/ Sean Egan's Pidgin Blog] is my main
 source of updates about Pidgin, but having to read it through a web
 browser is tedious and old-fashioned. I often forget to do it for weeks,
 which is just terrible! A feed (in
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(standard) Atom] or
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rss RSS] format) simplifies this greatly by
 allowing me (and everyone else) to subscribe to entries published in the
 blog, and thereby getting updates automagically in my favorite feed
 reader.

 As far as I can see, the blog engine being used is
 [http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/ PyBlosxom], which has excellent support
 for feeds. If the HTML template could just include a little {{{<link
 rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="feed.atom">}}} in the
 {{{<head></head>}}} section, it would be very easy to subscribe to the
 blog's feed through any browser supporting it (Firefox, Opera, Safari,
 IE7). Can you please add this or at least point out what URI this feed
 exists on, if it does?
