RSS Feed Re-worked
Just an FYI - I've found that it's pretty much way more time consuming to try and figure out how you're getting an RSS feed and real-time modifying it, so I wrote a little script to parse the results elsewhere first and then repost to the site.
The good news is the Website Hosting RSS Feed is now all, and only, Website Hosting Providers. No more "Top 10 Ways to Make Millions" ads - like I said, unfortunately, lots of folks post to feeds in the wrong categories on purpose and I don't want this site to promote get rich schemes.
I'm pretty much done working on the basic content/layout. Of course, I'd welcome any tips on a better title and a cleaner looking blog.
From now on, I'll be devoting my daily posts to responding to emails or comments regarding shell usage and scripting issues, etc. We'll be getting to what this blog is really all about. Ease of use, help and discussion related to Linux, Unix and shell programming
Take care :)

Added RSS Feed For Web Hosting Services - Important Note About Content
Hey There,
Making another addition. This time in the form of a helpful RSS feed to keep you up to date on great web hosting providers and services out there.
Currently, it's in it's infancy. Just working now. You'll notice that certain folks have placed content in the feed that doesn't necessarily belong. This is bad practice, but, unfortunately, unavoidable since I'm subscribing to the straight feed.
Over the next few days, I'll be scripting around this RSS feed to weed out all the irrelevant content. This will make the list much shorter, but will also make it worth your while to glance over.
My apologies, if you happen to actually have seen this page in its first few days of existence, for the inappropriate content.
Rest assured. Everything that doesn't have to do with web hosting, Linux, Unix and the like will be weeded from the direct feed via wrap around java or perl script very shortly.
Thanks for dropping by. Hopefully, by the time you get here, I will have this little glitch all sorted out.
A man once said: Some things in life are free, but they come at a cost. This is the truth of adding an RSS feed straight out-of-the-box. Since this site is dedicated to ease of use for Linux, Unix and website management, I'll be fixing all that for free. The only cost will be my time, but, hey - I shouldn't be up at this hour anyway ;)
