People have been asking for a free republic RSS feed ( RSS FAQ ) for quite some time and while there isn't a traditional 
graphic there is a hidden meta tag which the new FireFox 1.0 browser discovered. Which means that if you're a newsfeed user you can finally subscribe directly to the free republic forums here:

My younger, smarter electrical engineering cousin was telling last week that
the "XML" tags indicate a link that can be taken to get the web-info
in a format for rapid repackaging and wide distribution.
I'd noticed some of the orange "XML" tags on some of the Yahoo! News webpages earlier.
I guess it's maybe a way to get people to "repackage" Yahoo's news and
maybe this causes "traffic" back to their site (and more revenues?).
I invite others to correct/amplify the gibberish I've posted here.

I came across those RSS thingies for FreeRepublic just yesterday at
NewsIsFreeI'm really not certain how good that place is, I'm still playing around with it, trying to figure it out.

Someone pinged me to the link for the Breaking News RSS feed the other day. It made my day. Now I can easily get the best breaking news site on my cellphone, anywhere.

To upgrade to 1.0 do you just install over the 0.9?

Let's act like you're my Wife and you assume I'm dumber than a half eaten chimichanga. Let's act like Petra Verkaik is my wife and she is microwaving the chimichanga in my pantalones.

Surprised there wasn't as much interest in this as I thought there would be.
It's nifty!
Couple bugs with FireFox.

Wow. This post appeared exactly four days before I ever thought to check whether FR has an RSS "feed".
