brent just added gzip compression support to net news wire, and noted that few webloggers are gzipping. i've been gzipping for nine months now, so i'm a qualified expert to offer a short tutorial for weblog authors using php:
to enable gzipping in php, add the following code to the top of each script (or to a single script included at the top of all others):
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
i know it looks complicated, but with a little trial and error, you too can type those twenty five characters and do your part to reduce bandwidth. for advanced coders, there's a special method involving procedures known as "copy" and "paste", but i won't get into that here.
