submitted by amprather on 1258789352|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

You can of course improve the formatting or customize the feed. In particular you can of course combine several feeds — just separate different RSS sources by a coma delimiter (",").

The hack presented above does not aim to reproduce the exact digg-style but shows that using the simple tricks you can come quite close. And of course it demonstrates the power of Wikidot ;-)

For more details please consult the Feed module documentation.
