We've got one for Yuricon. It covers yuri-related news from the industry, as well as Yuricon and ALC news.

Because of the limitations of my technical skills, basically I write a HTML web page with news items, and run it through http://www.wotzwot.com/rssxl.php to create the RSS. It works fairly well, and the companion "News" page on the site is picking up some visitors, as well. 

On an entirely unrelated topic I just got my first pair of bifocals this week. Boy does this feel weird....!



Cheers,

Erica
