RSS feed

[risby]

Is there any news on the rss capability? I note that neither BCUK nor BB have it available yet. Must be more complicated from the admin side than other features but it would be really useful for me.

What is it?

What is it?

Well, it's like this
also firefox lets you save rss feeds as 'live bookmarks' which I find particularly useful.

I'll second that, it's a very useful feature, Outdoors Magazine forum has one.

I don't quite understand what's not working. Do these work?

Yay !!! They do indeed. Thx Pappa (and Tony, of course)

TomTom: I have Firefox 1.5, I think this is the version in which the livebookmark feature was introduced. Rightclick on the rss2 link above and select "Copy Link Location" then click on Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks and then in the new window click on File -> New Live Bookmark. In the dialog box enter Bushcraft UK into the Name textfield and paste in the link to the Feed Location text field. I've got all my feeds in a Feeds folder in the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder (I've got sub folders for Food: eGullet, TheTravelersLunchbox & Chocolate and Zucchini; Jobs: various Jobserve searches; and then individual feeds from IT reviews, New Scientist, Outdoors Magazine, the BBC and now BushcraftUK.

I felt I should mention that there is a much simpler way to store your live bookmark as long as the website offers this feature. When you go to an appropriate website, like www.guardian.co.uk, for example, you'll see an orange square at the righthand side of firefox's address bar. All you need do in this case is click the orange box and an Add Live Bookmark dialog box appears.
