Not every page! However, just picking one page at random, http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/ - this has no feed but seems to comprise of a number of stories. My assumption is that you are using a CMS to do this - it wouldn't reduce the number of visitors to the site if there was an RSS feed, surely? As a big Drum and Bass fan then I would like a feed from http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/drumbass/ - if it were me doing this I would have a standard "rss.xml" file in each folder... > That would be useful if you wanted a log of when a page has changed and > when for example (meta about the page I guess) But for holding data I think > the idea of using xhtml with lots of Microformats or rdf/a makes better > sense. > Yeah, but if you use iGoogle or similar to monitor sites, they are invisible without the RSS feeds! For example, I had no idea when the Guardian changed their "home page" design, because I never look at it - I use the RSS feeds from the sections I want (Media, Technology) so I can avoid the stuff I don't want (Sport etc). Also, RSS is very easy for search engines to index, and you don't get onto the "add stuff" buttons of iGoogle without an RSS feed. Type in "drum and bass" for example and there's no 1Xtra (sorry, BBC Radio 1Xtra). > > Others may disagree, but I'm interested in why > The main reason I use iGoogle is that I have six or seven PCs that I use over the days - a few servers, PCs in different offices, laptops etc - iGoogle allows me to keep my stuff in one place and access it as I require. > Ian Forrester > > This e-mail is: [ x ] private; [ ] ask first; [ ] bloggable > > Senior Producer, BBC Backstage > BC5 C3, Media Village, 201 Wood Lane, London W12 7TP > e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > p: +44 (0)2080083965 > > > ------------------------------ > *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Brian Butterworth > *Sent:* 20 August 2007 15:31 > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: [backstage] RSS feeds query > > > How about a generic RSS feed for every BBC page that is published? > > On 20/08/07, Carlos Roman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > There is always the Heroes Radio Show podcast > > http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/bbc7/heroes/rss.xml > > Not much info about each episode in the feed though. > > > > -C. > > > > ------------------------------ > > *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > *On Behalf Of *Ian Forrester > > *Sent:* 20 August 2007 14:16 > > *To:* [email protected] > > *Subject:* RE: [backstage] RSS feeds query > > > > > > I'm not sure but I'll pass it on. > > > > What kind of information were you hoping for? > > > > Ian Forrester > > > > This e-mail is: [ x ] private; [ ] ask first; [ ] bloggable > > > > Senior Producer, BBC Backstage > > BC5 C3, Media Village, 201 Wood Lane, London W12 7TP > > e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > p: +44 (0)2080083965 > > > > > > ------------------------------ > > *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > *On Behalf Of *Iain Emsley > > *Sent:* 20 August 2007 09:44 > > *To:* [email protected] > > *Subject:* [backstage] RSS feeds query > > > > > > A quick query.
