I'm currenly re-designing and re-coding my website. One of the main changes I'm doing is working more towards a Digital Garden style of site and less of a feed-style blog (I suppose it might end up being a mix).

Embarrassingly my current website doesn't even have RSS, but that is also one thing I'd like to fix with this new site.

A problem is this though: in a digital garden style site where the interesting update to the content might be *changes* in existing sites, what should actually be included in the RSS feed? New stuff obviously, but what if a page is added to?

One option is to give a choice, but ultimately I need to provide a default canonical option.

(Yeah, I realize I'm yet another developer spending more time developing my website than actually writing content for it.)

@torb I've seen people make their Changelog the feed in such cases.

List what's been changed/added/removed in the log entries, and link to it. Whoever reads the feed can check out the actual content from there.

Do you have any examples you like top-of-mind?
