Post by: Moniker on August 08, 2007, 12:02:55 PM
Is there a RSS feed for the website? I'd love to insert it onto my wiki.

There's three buttons at the bottom of every page and a little orange icon in the navigation bar.

I know next to nothing about this sort of thing, but aren't those the feeds?

not that I saw. I subscribed when ElDo posted to the thread, and I didn't see any updates during the day (and refreshing showed new posts). I don't have it up anymore.

(Though I may have done something wrong, so don't take my word for it. :) )

The one for the news loaded the last few news reports, but the one for the post (which is the one I subscribed earlier) is failing to load.


Using Firefox and Live Bookmark.

I mean it actually loaded. It kept giving me a "failed to load" error. I'll leave it up tomorrow and see if it changes at all during the day.

yeah... i got that same error in firefox. PROBABLY at the same times you did. I'm not sure if it's just firefox being thrown the loop or not.

OK I've left it up all day and as far as I can tell it works, but realllly slowly.

The latest thread it says is "d20 Combat Redesigned 2 - Playtested" which was last posted to at 3:15pm my time. The front page says there were at least 2 more posts one at 3:52PM & 4:01PM.

At the risk of sounding dumb, what's an RSS feed?

it's a lot like getting an email when a thread updates, but more lightweight and to the point. You need an rss reader to use them. Some email clients (thunderbird) support them. firefox allows them as bookmarks. opera can read them. The web 2.0 homepages (google homepage, netvibes) show them as a collection of links.
