RSS feeds

I was wondering if it was practical to provide an RSS feed for this site. Would be a nice access for DVD news and the reviews.
A number of the other places I visit on a regular basis (BBC news, slashdot, ahem DVDAnswers) provide RSS as an option, and I have grown to love it as an easy way to keep up to date.

Both firefox www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/central.html and thunderbird www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ now support direct RSS folders. I have no idea how technically difficult it is to make the requisite XML though.

It does make reading news items very convenient though.

Any one else part of the RSS revolution?
Julian.

Check out these introductions... it sounds rather boring but if you have a reader its very convenient. You get the news as its updated. I read it in my mail reader (thunderbird - a worthy replacement for Outlook express) and it just appears there like mail.
