Any chance of adding an RSS feed to this site?



http://rss.lockergnome.com/resources/ar ... nd-a.phtml

http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/catdb.php?cat=56



I used to check each one of a couple dozen sites and forums every morning to read new articles but now I have an RSS reader that aggregates and categorizes all of the new articles in one place. It would be nice to be able to see new articles from this forum in my RSS reader as well.



P.S. I'm working on a Script Device that will turn a software remote into an RSS reader.



Thanks,

Alan

Here's a quick prototype of the RSS reader that I've got so far. It only shows article titles right now; I still need to show the article content in either another control or by opening up an IE window.

Alan,



The BB mod was pretty simple, so its running... I think. :? I'd be lying if I said that I had any idea what exactly this does, but since it's an approved MOD, I guess it won't destroy the board. :wink:



Let me know if it works. The URL is http://www.cebotics.com/phpbb2/rss.php .

Now I get it. I'm actually finding it useful.



Pretty cool. 8)
