<p>If you happen to be writing your blog on a single HTML5 page, or are planning to, then you might be interested in using <a href="https://journal.miso.town/" target="_blank">HTML Journal</a>. This simple tool from the cool <a href="https://m15o.net/" target="_blank">m15o</a> lets you convert your webpage into an Atom feed, provided you follow some rather simple rules:</p>
<ul>
<li>Have one, and only one, <code>&lt;h1&gt;</code> tag. That will be your feed's title.</li>
<li>Have each blog post surrounded in <code>&lt;article&gt;&lt;/article&gt;</code> tags.</li>
<li>Have each blog post start with an <code>&lt;h2&gt;</code> tag, whose contents should start with an ISO 8601 date: <code>2023-02-31 Climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spider-Man</code>. The date will be the Atom entry's date, and the rest will be the post's title.</li>
<li>Have literally anything else within that article; that will be the post's content.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you like a verbose specification, well <a href="https://m15o.ichi.city/site/subscribing-to-a-journal-page.html" target="_blank">there's one</a>. But the list above is the gist of it really.</p>
<p>Once you've got your page available somewhere online, you can use <code>https://journal.miso.town/atom?url=</code> followed by your page's URL to get a feed. Or you can use <a href="https://journal.miso.town/journal-to-atom" target="_blank">this form</a> if you can't be bothered with URL-encoding the URL, which is definitely understandable. You can also <a href="https://journal.miso.town/validate-by-url" target="_blank">use a validator</a>.</p>
<p>There are plenty of HTML-to-RSS tools, including some that use CSS selectors, let you do custom scripting, or are tailored to one specific platform like Twitter. But I really like the simplicity of HTML Journal: Just structure the page in the spirit that HTML5 intends, and suddenly, you've got a feed.</p>
