packets of parents

A while back I mentioned Planet Parent, a column about being a mum that my friend Juliet writes. It is very funny and moving, like Bridget Jones only with more piss and shit and sick and (I can vouch) true and not, in fact, annoying. This one is a good place to start.

Unfortunately, it is hosted on Tigerchild, a site that has been gifted with the worst user-interface ever. There’s even a note on their frontpage at the moment saying that their frontpage is broken. “Please only use the Tigerchild navigation provided within the site, not the Back and Forward browser buttons”, it adds in a tiny, not quite centered font. Oh bugger off.

Anyway, I had far too much to do this weekend and was ill so I wrote an RSS feed for Planet Parent instead of doing what I was supposed to do or getting better. Subscribe, and mail me when it breaks.

(Or fix it yourself. I nicked Bill Humphries neat hack of running Webpages through tidy and then using XSLT to turn them into RSS. Here is the XSLT stylesheet I wrote for it.)
