Overview

The default feed in WordPress is normally RSS. However, many companies, including Google, have thrown more support behind the Atom syndication format. Atom is better designed, more robust, well-defined, and supports publish capabilities as well.

WordPress does support Atom, but not as the default feed. This plugin changes that, so that the default feed output is Atom format.
