Any chance we can get an RSS feed for News and maybe RSS feeds of the forums? |

Actually, something grabbing news feeds from other sources is a great idea for the site, but that's somewhat complicated and I have a zillion things to do already. So, in short, good idea, but I need help.

I notice that if you go to Google pixies news http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&edition=us&ie=ascii&q=pixies
that they also have an RSS feed... how about that sort of live new into a section on the site... just a small corner where the lastest pixie news on google comes up |

I think you're underrating it...
Glad it's working though.

Sorry, meant more planning to use then anything. Just deciding which part of the site to focus the day's energy. Think I'll leave the forum feed for consideration later, but there's no way for me to know if the feed is being subscribed to or not at the moment.
I'm probably going to put a small release together about the Doolittle book. So you'll get to test it. :)

I've subscribed, but give it a chance, there hasn't been any news in the few hours has there?

So, the question is, is anyone using the news feed, and is it even worth my time to do a forum feed? How would people use it? The last thing we need is something that negatively impacts forum traffic, it's already slow around here...

For example... it doesn't appear to work with Firefox's Live Bookmark feature. Could be because I generate this file on the fly when it is called, but this will take yet more work. Let me know if you have any success with it, too.

Alright, so I've put a news feed on there. Just point your aggregator at http://www.frankblack.net/rss.asp
I use Google which doesn't do the full text previews, but please let me know if you have any problems or things that could be improved. I should have a little RSS icon on the main page soon...

Heh, yeah, we had it done by then but not approved so I had to throw you off the scent. Well done. :)

Maybe just new threads...i agree it would be rather insane.
Maybe it's intended for those really, slow Forums, that update a few times a week..

Not a clue. I'm not sure how it would work on a thread basis. At all. At least for the moment.

Or noteworthy, at least.
What would be the logistics of putting an RSS feed on each thread, like a subscription where you're emailed every time it's updated, but more convenient?

Ha, yeah, we'll just ask Frank to do more newsworthy stuff.

I do, but I don't know how you'd pull off feeding the forums - strikes me it's so busy it would be overwhelming. Doing a feed for the news would be good, but you'd have to promise to update it more regularly...

I'm starting to familiarize myself with RSS, so it's a possibility.. I'm not sure of any simple methods for ASP/SQL...seems like setting it up is a real task...defeating the 'RS' in RSS.
How many people here actually use RSS in some capacity? (ie, a reader, Firefox, or Google's customized home page, etc..?)

Aww...comon...wouldnt it be great to get special guests every week, like Frank Black, Catholics, Pixies, etc... |

Posted - 02/09/2006 : 18:25:08
Heh, Dave just doesn't moderate anymore, he's still at the back end doing stuff.
And nope, no idea how we'd pull that off. :)

While you're at it, have you guys considered a podcast made up of FrankBlack.net forum regulars? That would be neat...the audible version of the forums! |

Great, thanks for the link, I'll start looking at that with Dave later this week. We've got another project at a critical point right now.
The question would be, one global FB.net feed, one per forum plus a news feed, or a forum feed and a news feed. Would new threads be in the feed or new posts. How would that work. Some definite thinking on it to do. Appreciate the link though, and feel free to throw in some suggestions, anyone using rss feeds currently.

Very prescient.
I have no idea how we'd do that for the forums (I've thought about this), but I've been tossing around the idea of RSS news for a while. In fact, I spent a bit of time earlier today playing around with something for our main page. Just a matter of time now.
