RSS Feeds
Undoubtedly, RSS feeds are one of the coolest things about WSS v3.
One solution I can see is, as a MOSS administrator, I can build a master link list and manage it froma central location and then every web master in the world could subscribe to my link list.
But, of course they don't need the whole list just any set of links of a given context. And, equally of course, they'll want them in a specific order.
So I went to the link list and added a sort order column and context column and then I build a view to select the desired context and sort in the correct order.
Then, on the Edit View page you get the little RSS icon in the top Name section. Use that RSS feed to get the sorted, contextualized view into your feed reader.
Also, at some point, you're going to get the error:
The RSS webpart does not support authenticated feeds
You can fix this by allowing anonymous access to the source list. But there's more to that story and it's covered well here:
