Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Great!
Wonderful!
I think 100 items may be a bit much.
I will try and set it to last 30 posts.
Hooray!
Much appreciated.
No more ellipses! Cheers – the RSS is now ten times handier.
I’m sure I would be ecstatically grateful,if only I knew what it was.

An XML feed AKA an RSS feed is a way of finding out if there is anything new on Samizdata without having to go to all the trouble of visiting the site.
If you go to Bloglines (www.bloglines.com), set up an account, click Add and paste the URL above in the box provided, you will be able to see this magic for yourself.
You do have to check into Bloglines, mind.

Publishing the full text of the articles via an XML feed, also makes a blog a bit harder to censor with a spurious threat of legal action against the hosting company, either by a Government or law enforcement agency, or by lawyers or public relations mercenaries, since copies of the truth / alleged libel will be distributed onto many other systems, including search engines, outside of their control, probably every hour or so.
This is something to bear in mind, given the incompetent attempts at blog censorship by the expensive law firm of Schillings, for their now notorious client Alisher Usmanov, which caused collateral damage even to blogs which had never mentioned his criminal past and links with corrupt dictatorships – see Chicken Yoghurt for more details.
