Archive for the 'RSS' Category

So I’ve switched to Google Reader for news aggregation and for the most part love it dearly. One of the features I like the best is the fact that I can share my feeds as an Atom feed. I can do this for all my feeds or just for ones I’ve categorized a specific way. [...]

News aggregators

Since Internet Librarian I’ve been playing with several different news aggregators. I’ve started to use Flock for new reading particularly since I’ve made Flock my regular browser at home because it is really good for offline blog posting. The problem with Flock for news reading is the fact that it has to reside on your [...]

More Coldfusion and XML fun

I really wish that I had time to spend working on one project consistently. My XML project has been dragging as I work on a bunch of other job duties (most of them not related to coding). I was excited that Bruce has some suggestions about how to make my transformation for efficient. Unfortunately his [...]

Transforming RSS and Atom feeds

I’m still working on getting Coldfusion to transform RSS and Atom feeds into HTML and I’ve got stylesheets that work for each of the flavors of these RSS 0.9, 1.0, and 2.0 and Atom 1.0 and 0.3 . However, I’m having troubling with getting Coldfusion to tell that an Atom 0.3 feed is that so [...]

For a while, I’ve been using CiteULike to get RSS feeds of the table of contents of new journal issues. Its really useful for journals that CiteULike is able to index table of contents. However, there are several magazines/journals that aren’t available via CiteULike that I’d like to be able to keep a closer eye [...]

At Computers in Libraries someone asked me about scripts that would allow you to incorporate RSS feeds into web pages. I have done this in the past using server-side scripting. However, this isn’t an option for everyone. Many people don’t have the skills to do this. I knew that it was also possible to do [...]

Podcast viewer in iTunes

So I got home last night and my computer had downloaded the newest version of iTunes with podcast support. I’ve been using iPodder to keep track of my podcast subcriptions. Ipodder adds things to iTunes after they are downloaded and it seems the latest version adds the “Podcast” grouping to them. I really want to [...]
