33,856 PointsI'd say using Google would one of the best options. For instance you can search Treehouse Blog or any website for that matter. You could also use something like Wolfram Alpha to search for subdomains but most times the blog would be on the root domain and linked in the navigation or blog.website.com, etc.
I'm thinking they set it up that way because of the way Treehouse is built for learning, plus I'm sure there are added SEO and marketing benefits from that.

33,856 PointsThat link isn't rendering in my browser. What are you using to view it?

20,287 Pointswhich browser you mean? I'm using chromium web browser

33,856 PointsThat looks like a JSON feed, which is similar to an XML feed but you most times need an extension to view it. The link is just for retrieving the most 20 recent posts and nothing more. It's basically an alternative to an XML feed.
Are you on Android or Linux maybe?
