A new forum called "News Feeds" has been added to the forum. The user "NewsBot" monitors a configured list of feeds (RSS, ATOM, RDF) and automatically posts new feed messages to the "News Feeds" forum. Everybody has read-only access to the forum, this means you cannot reply the automatically posted messages. The forum is intended for reading and refering users to the original source. Posts in the "News Feeds" forum are automatically pruned after 31 days.

You want your feed added to the forum? Just reply to this thread with your feed url and one of the following options:

  1. Full (title, author, link, full content)
  2. Summary (title, author, link, summary content)
  3. Short (title, author, link, no content)

The feed content and specific settings differ per CMS system. Feed owners might need to do some setup. It all depends of which option you choose. Don't worry too much about these technical details. Your option choice is sufficient in most cases. When possible try to follow the setup instructions below before posting your choice.

Below a knownledge base of setup instructions currently known to us. If your CMS system is not listed it does not mean it cannot be added.

^That's a fantastic question you ask there. I'm consulting the other mods to see what they think and maybe figure out how to do it as I'm new at this game, but I think you have my vote. Seems like a really neat blog.
