Carl Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 That little button next to the forum name that says "RSS" turns this forum into an RSS feed. It's pretty geek stuff, but the idea is that any new posts will display in your feed reader. This means if you have a personalized Yahoo (my.yahoo.com) or Google page, you can make the feed appear there, like in this shot: There are also different applications you can use to read feeds, and some browsers (like Safari) do it for you. The idea is that you can read the headlines elsewhere, and click to read the post. Pretty handy feature. If you need help with this RSS stuff, post here and we'll try to get our geek on to help.

LeeBB Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Now can we have feeds for the other forums? I've been thinking about whipping up a home-cooked one, but it's much easier to do for the forum admins. Please? LBBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 woohoo, I was waiting for that PS works great with Firefox too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm not sure if it works with Chrome. It's just one large chunk of unformatted text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Lee- It's pretty easy for us to set up feeds for any forum now that we've done some ironing. Let us know what forums you'd like a feed for, and we'll make it so. Shawna, the RSS button appears on the Forum index page - the one you see when you go to forum.songfacts.com. You'll see it next to the Music News title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I just had a look at the feed with a different browser... now I can say for sure it doesn't work with Chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Lee- It's pretty easy for us to set up feeds for any forum now that we've done some ironing. Let us know what forums you'd like a feed for, and we'll make it so. Well, the ones I am interested in are generally the first four forums, but if it's really no sweat, I would be very happy to see feeds for all the forums ;-) Anyway, anything you can do would be great. Thanks heaps, LBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
