RSS Feeds for the blogs?

How about RSS Feeds for the blogs? I'd like to read them but dont' always have time to click through them all.

I've wanted this for a while.

Noted - we'll look into it. I'm pretty sure the functionality is already there, we'll just need to figure it out.

What do you use to power the blogs? Blogspot??

[joshuadzl]

If you use blogspot, you'd goto settings -> site feed -> publish site feed

We use boastMachine v3.1
Under system settings we currently have Enable RSS(XML) syndication set to Yes.
I'll be spending more time in the http://www.boastology.com/forum/search.php?mode=results forums to see what else we need to do to go live with this feature.

groovy thanks.

[joshuadzl]

Thanks Eric, thats awesome.

[Eric]

Today I made a change so the following is now visible in the side menu on the right side of the blogs:

Syndication
RSS .92
RSS 2.0
Atom .03

Can someone try it out to see if it works?

Flawless victory, thanks Eric.

[ttanaka]

Hey, so is this working? How do you use that feature?

[joshuadzl]

What do you mean Ttanka? Like, how do you put together a page to get headlines from them all?

[ttanaka]

Yeah, I guess, is that what you guys are doing? Do you have some kind of rss reader that you point to all the RSS feeds that you like? I've never used RSS so don't know much about it...

[joshuadzl]

I acctually just use google. Here is an SS of when I login to google (my default home page). Create a google account (maybe it requires gmail, if you dont have one let me know) and you can customize your google homepage. I like it at least.

[ttanaka]

ahh, wow that's cool, ok, thanks man. I have a gmail account, so I'll check that out.

[Eric]

Flawless victory, thanks Eric.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad it is working.

[Eric]

This is really cool, I got it going on my google homepage.

For those who haven't done it before all you do is find a blog xml link that you like from the right nav of our blogs, maybe this one for example:
http://blog.flopturnriver.com/rss/Da...YoEye_rss1.xml
and copy it.

Next you just choose the Add Content link in the upper left corner of your http://www.google.com/ig google homepage.

Finally, choose Advanced Options, paste the blog xml link and hit the Add button.

Yeah, its really cool because most people use blogspot, who support the same functionality. So, even the blogs that are outside of FTR you can still use with this as well.
