I'm looking for some reliable RSS feeds (I appreciate they seem to be coming
rare these days) to do with classic computers, preferably with a TRS-80
flavour but I'm not going to be precious about it.
Google didn't seem to produce too many and those it did were either not
there anymore or broken or monumentally out of date.
If anyone can point me any where I'd be most grateful.
Thank you

Hello Kevin,
I blog mostly, but not entirely, about vintage computers on my website.
Most recently I have been writing articles about CP/M.

The RSS feed is:
? http://feeds.feedburner.com/TechTinkering
If you like watching videos I also have a youtube channel:

Hope this is of interest

Here are mine. The hashed-out ones seem to be on hiatus or have
disappeared. This is from my podget configuration file.

I've been thinking some more after seeing Jim's post.? If you can import
.opml files then here's mine for vintage computer feeds, if not they are
easy to extract:

It's a shame so many people have abandoned RSS feeds considering how
easy they are to create and how much easier they make it to follow what
someone is doing.? I keep coming across interesting vintage computer
related blogs but then lose track of them again because they don't have
an RSS feed and its too much of a hassle to keep going around each site
to see if there is anything interesting.
It's particularly surprising with vintage computer blogs because we
should in theory be relatively tech savvy and in theory RSS must be
about 20 years old now so it is by some theories vintage as well.
Hopefully your post will act as a reminder to those who aren't
publishing RSS feeds that it may be worth implementing them.
Best wishes
Lorry
