What is Atom?
If you want to make your blog available via a "syndicated feed", then Atom is worth looking into. It grew out of an experimental Application Programming Interface for Blogger. Atom is a "universal format for personal content publishing built on a platform that is very extensible" (XML).
When you activate Atom syndication, Blogger automatically generates a machine-readable version of your blog that can be picked up and displayed in a variety of ways, including newsreaders, web sites and handheld devices.
If you are a web developer, you may be interested in creating applications based on Atom. Visit AtomEnabled.org to find out more.
