Why Is There No Rss Feed For The Blog?

[FrdJck]

Hi everyone!

Just a suggestion here, why is there no RSS feed for the blog of openpandora.org?

It's would be very usefull for everyone, like following the Pandora developpement on iGoogle. (or where you prefer)

thank you

That is a good point. I wonder why there is not RSS feed for the Pandora blog.

I made my own feed for the blog quite some time back with feed43. The service wouldn't let me extract the posts' content (claiming the parsing was too heavy), but I can get the titles and poster at least. So although it's not perfect, at least I am notified of new posts on the openpandora blog.

The feed is here:
http://feed43.com/openpandora.xml

I hope it is useful to others.

I could make one that parses it, but I don't have the time to do so. I wish they did bother to do one.

Someone could try making one with Yahoo Pipes. It's very easy to use. If no one else does one first I may have a go at doing one tomorrow/at the weekend.

The guy who made the site said he wasn't given enough time. This is what he said:

Yeah maybe you should add an rss feed for the site? Everyone on their forum is asking for the same thing, I think it will be pretty important if the Pandora itself comes with an RSS reader you know!

Well at the moment website is out of my hands and there are a few other issues that are stopping me doing any more work on the site.

but I am looking into it

I still don't get the big deal, a rss feed would pretty much be the blog.php page, except remove the layout and replace it with RSS XML, it's that easy, I've done it myself.

I just wrote up a script that pops the blog page up whenever it's updated.

sounds like a bandwidth hog

 

[javaJake]

Not really. It just wget's the website whenever I login (in the morning, usually) and diff's that with the last changed page. Easy.

oh, I figured it was a "every 30 seconds" sorta thing
