RSS Feeds

Rss feeds working great.

After tinkering with my rss feed and from the encouraging response back on my question about whether the rss feed is valid I did some more tinkering this evening and I’ve now managed to create two feeds for RoseisRose and Rudy from comics.com by using dos batch file programming, sed and wget to do all the work. By running this script on my w2k machine each day I’ll have a feed updated with the latest daily cartoon. I can’t make this feed available for general consumption because of copyright issues but I don’t think it breaking copyright by using it myself. See cxliv or dwlt for more discussions on this issue.

Email to RSS

Chris mentioned MailBucket which is an email to RSS converter which converts email sent to a mailbucket.org address and converts it to a rss feed at mailbucket.org/address.xml. This looks really good and I’ve added a mailing list that I’m on to this to see how usable this format is. I’m not sure how replying to an xml feed will work though – will have to wait and see.
