Remind this: It’s news when it’s syndicated

I’m happy that I can test the MyHeadlines tool, I will phase out the Headlines from Drupal. (no categories is the main reason and it does have more options onboard than I use or want to have.

Please use the new syndicated newsfeeds
If you use it: try it, and give me feedback.

1. It will use a cookie and will remember your IP so your newsheadlines will be shown when you return
2. You can suggest new XML/RSS/RDF feeds and I can/will add them
3. This service is free/beta and is one of the main topics discussed at this weblog

It’s news when it’s syndicated!

Changes

A lot of changes at AroundMyRoom.com today.

– updated the MT rss/rdf templates.
Lucky bastard I am: the update of the templates took care of the problem that the feed was not able to be added within radio userland.
today I got a message from Niels that the RSS 0.91 template of MT is Radio proof right now.

– added the rdf icon and rdf links and
– took care that the whole website has the same ‘left’ menu bar.

– changed the category xml template. The left menu xml/rdf link will connect the user to the right category xml-file link. So I’ve 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 different XML feeds which are related to my categories.

So if you are only interested in the Art & Images category stuff; you can subscribe to that feed with any kind of RSS/XML tool (ie. amphetadesk) by adding the nr. 5 link I gave.

It took some time, but I’m really happy with it. Cause you have to remember:
It’s news when it’s syndicated !

Your homepage has been disconnected. You have reached the limit of 5Gb datatraffic. Wow… All this caused by the entry about ‘ Parking your Car ‘ ..
