  Yep a all-journals feed would be perfect (that links to to the individual journal entry

  http://use.perl.org/~pudge/journal/21884

  rather than the just the user's journal

  http://use.perl.org/~pudge/journal/

  There are three main reasons for this

  1. The biggest complaint is that the URL isn't unique and the same URL could appear in the feed multiple times.
  2. Another reason is that when you follow an older link/headline combination, you may be presented with a newer journal entry and then you have to scroll down and find the entry you want.
  3. Finally, you don't instantly get to see the comments along with the journal entry when you visit the page.

  This URL works best

  http://use.perl.org/search.pl?tid=&query=&author=&op=journals&content_type=r ss

  but because it lists all journals, it kinda sucks that you don't have the journal author's name in the headline.

  Actually, while writing this comment, I whipped together XML::RSS::Headline::UsePerlJournals, that takes the search.pl rss output and removes the date and adds the id back in

  and you get the actual URL to journal entry as well.
