Atom vs. RSS

I've got to say, the SourceBeat blogs, which are all hosted on JRoller, look great. Here is a list of the active SourceBeat author blogs, RSS feeds, and topics:

Russell demonstrates the power of plain old JSP.

Russell has been busy updating his minimalistic JSP-based Weblogging package, which he now calls MyBlog. He added an Atom feed and then added a single JSP page implementation of the Blogger, Blogger2, MovableType, and MetaWeblog APIs. It is amazing and a little scary what you can do with a single JSP. He mentions the complexity of the same API implementation in other Java blogging packages, Blojsom, Pebble, and Roller. I can't take credit for the Roller implementation, I stole it from Blojsom.
