   <p>This form takes your web page and turns it into RSS 0.92. This is especially useful for Blogger users.</p>
   <p>A tip of the hat to Aaron Swartz who came up with the idea and <a href="http://logicerror.com/blogifyYourPage">the first implementation.</a></p>
   <ol>
   <li>Put &lt;span class="rss:item"> ... &lt;/span> round each item in your page.
   <br />In Blogger you'd do this by going to your template in blogger and changing 
<br /><b>&lt;$BlogItemBody$></b>
<br />to 
<br /><b>&lt;span class="rss:item">&lt;$BlogItemBody$>&lt;/span></b>
<br />And then publish something to re-create the page with the new template 
<li>Then put the URL of your new and modified page into the form below.
<li>Check that what you get back looks like RSS.
<li>Now you can make a link to this file like "http://www.voidstar.com/rssify.php?url=your_web_page_url"
<li>Finally add a link to it on your web page, something like this.
