I think Maria's priority would be to enhance this great product rather than sort out RSS. Remember that RSS is fairly new and a lot of people just don't know what it is. Only three browsers can read RSS at the moment anyway, otherwise you need a Feed Reader.

You would be better off creating your own. Something like this

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">

Save it as articles.xml and put the link code in your header.

Just add more <item></item> as you need to. There are some nifty RSS feed generators around like FeedForAll
