Hurrah! And Some suggestions
These were going to be comments on previous posts by Inn and Shahee. Inn, well done! This is good work.
Some suggestions:
1. I think we should probably change the “LatestUpdated” to “RecentlyUpdated” - grammatically correct
2. Include a link in the header of the updates page so that the RSS feed of the updates can be automatically detected
3. Instead of the standards compliant date we should use human compliant “hours / days ago” for presentation (RSS feed can still have standard date)
4. A sentence worth of words from each updated entry is probably enough and would save space.
Ok then. I’ll post another update shortly.

“Human complaint” dates can easily be achieved by mysql date functions alone.
I think it might be a good idea to chop up the “post text” (on the RecentlyUpdated page) on either a word or sentence boundary for aesthetic completedness.
Senn, I have implemented the aforementioned suggestions. Changed LatestUpdated to RecentlyUpdated, included the alternate link in the header of updates page for the RSS feed auto discovery. And each entry will have a [n day]/[n days] beside it displaying the number of days since it has been posted. I will be working on the entry content truncation sometimes later tonight. Cheers.
