While we prefer to promote our primary news feed, you'll find that CMS Report offers a variety of RSS links available on various related CMS topics. Many of these "hidden feeds" can be discovered though the tag links found at the end of most articles. Below is a list of f CMSReport.com's five most popular RSS fees.
When it comes to promoting the CMS Report's news feeds, I've always been indecisive on how best to promote our various RSS links. I've always been happy to promote our primary news feed, but I've been hesitant about promoting and supporting some of our more "hidden feeds". However, increasingly I've been receiving emails from our readers asking for alternative feeds that might be more suitable for their needs.
So by popular demand, a list of some of the RSS feeds available at CMSReport.com:
CNET Webware: "Google has begun work on one much-requested feature of its Chrome browser, the ability to detect when a Web page offers a subscription service through RSS or Atom technology.
Google programmer Finnur Thorarinsson formally marked the RSS support issue as "started" on Wednesday, though the feature is disabled for now."
Joomlatools: "It's even more frustrating when I see a Joomla! 1.5 site that doesn't have proper feeds. J!1.5 makes it so easy, and still some people manage to mess it up."
John Forsythe: Last week, 28 new modules were released. Do you know what they are? You would if you subscribed to the New Modules list I just added to DrupalModules.com!
Few features are as essential to modern Web browsing as feeds.
With the rise of social networking and file sharing sites, feeds have
become the only way for many people to keep up-to-date with all the
sites that interest them. Certainly feeds are more efficient than
resolutely clicking dozens or hundreds of bookmarks one after another.
To satisfy the need to feed, developers have written dozens of Firefox
add-ons to help you view both classic feed formats and sites that lack
a feed.
I'm looking forward to evaluating the new FeedAPI module for Drupal. Though one feature I haven't seen in any of the aggregators I've seen so far for Drupal...a way to snip the original RSS feed. Some sites provide you the entire post in the RSS feed with no teaser. This may be great for the reader, but I'm not sure everyone is happy to see their entire post on someone else's site.
From time to time, I've hacked the core to get me closer to how I would like the content from an RSS feed to display at my site. There has to be another way and perhaps FeedAPI could by my solution...
After being in development for about seven months, we released FeedAPI 1.0 nearly two weeks ago! This is really exciting for me and everyone else who has been craving a more flexible aggregator for Drupal.
