Bowling site updated, now with RSS!

If anyone out there actually pays attention, they may have noticed that I updated the bowling website a few weeks ago.  It actually was a bit of an undertaking – I optimized the database, migrated from ASP.net 1.1 to 2.0, tweaked the CSS, and added a couple of pages (for records and statistics).  I’ve actually had a couple of incremental releases since the first move to the 2.0 framework.  In the first incremental release, I used the ASP.net Ajax Control Toolkit Tabs control for each bowler’s page, and I will also be using the control in the Season Statistics page in a future release.  The second incremental build was released last night – the addition of an RSS feed for the site.  Right now the feed is quite simple, it contains the team results from the last 5 weeks bowled.  And producing the feed was simple too, thanks to the use of the RSS Toolkit.  All I had to do was create a new generic handler and spit out the items I wanted to go into the feed!  I hope to use RSS in a couple other places, particularly I want to include a feed for each bowler.  A stalker out there may want to keep tabs on how Tony has been bowling, for example.  So if anyone out there really needs a new feed for their reader, you can keep updated on the Lebowskis by subscribing here! 

[Update 07/25/2010 - the Lebowskis site has been taken offline.  I'm too lazy to keep it updated]
