Provides a MTSkipHours element that you can put in your RSS 0.9x/2.0 template to produce a <SkipHours> block containing the <hour>s when you are sure you will never update your weblog. <SkipHours> is supported by at least Radio Userland and Manila, and may be supported by other aggregators.

Usage: <$MTSkipHours hours="1-6"$> where 1-6 are the hours (in 24 hour time, in your timezone) that you will never update, will be expanded to:

<skipHours>
<hour>9</hour>
<hour>10</hour>
<hour>11</hour>
<hour>12</hour>
<hour>13</hour>
<hour>14</hour>
</skipHours>

if you and your server are in UTC-08:00. If you don’t live in the same timezone as your server, you would have to put in the hours translated to your server’s timezone, at which point you might just as well translate them to UTC and put them directly into your template.
