MS + CSS + RSS + XSL

“I played around with the code for this for several days, worked with an editor to add content where appropriate, and this morning published the amended RSS feed for the Windows XP Expert Zone.

Ross’s Stupid Little…

Via Sean: “On Thursday I was thinking a bit about using Feedster with other peoples OPML subscription lists (like you can do with their advanced options), as a way to get a “what might Person X have read about subject Y” view of the web.” Here’s what he came up with. Not so stupid after […]

RSS Advertising

“Pheedo is an Online Ad Network focused on high quality weblog sites with targeted content and RSS feeds.” Sounds like phun! Lockergnome’s been placing advertisements in our RSS feeds from the very beginning; they’re no worse than Google banners. We’ve had repeat customers, so we must be doing something right?

RSS Follies

When I first started working on RSS Bandit I also was confused by these distinctions but after a while things became clearer. The only […]

OpenVMS Patch Syndication

“This page is my attempt to list the patches for the various releases of OpenVMS. The information is obtained by interrogating the ITRC FTP server once a day (can’t make me register for that) and munging the data into RSS feeds.” Dude! I remember using VMS… back in 1992.

RSS: Not Just for Bloggers Anymore

ClickZ writes, “The other day, I told someone I’d just met I worked for the publishing division of Jupitermedia. His reaction made me feel I’d stepped back in time. He was bemused a company that operates Web sites and e-mail newsletters would call itself a “publisher.” I didn’t know anyone thought that way anymore — […]
