Ugh, why don't you use gmane directly?

Use http://www.michaelhyatt.com/workingsmart/index.rdf (AFAIK
Gnus doesn't support atom feeds).
I think it should work w/o w3 but for reading RSS feeds i
would suggest to install some html renderer (emacs-w3m is
doing a very good job and it's useful as a normal web browser
too).
I'm not sure but i don't think Gnus looks at the meta tags of
the html page so you have to give it the direct link to the
feed.
