[Talking of RSS](http://www.onemanandhisblog.com/archives/2011/01/rumours%5Fof%5Frsss%5Fdemise%5Fare%5Fgreatly%5Fexagg.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), I note than some more changes have hit everyone’s favourite paywalled enterprise, *The Times* online.

First up, the blogs now have a [free-to-air front page](http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/blogs/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), and the main page is also available to view. Here’s Ruth Gledhill’s [Articles of Faith](http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/faith/articles-of-faith/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), for example.

You’ll still need to cough up to see the full posts, though. And the blogs now have RSS feeds, too (again, [here’s Ruth’s](http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/faith/articles-of-faith/rss?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), by way of example). They’re not full text feeds, indeed, sometimes they’re not even the whole of the first sentence, but it’s another step towards a more conventional approach to blogging. I wonder if login-protected full text is next for subscribers? It’s certainly technically possible.

As I’ve said before, I don’t agree with a lot of what *The Times* is doing, but I do admire their willingness to iterate and experiment with the paywall.
