DRK3 includes CF code/examples for RSS reader and a feed generator. O'Reilly book - "Content Syndication with RSS" by Ben Hammersley is pretty good with many examples. Covers various "standards" well.

I mean, I see people putting RSS stuff on their blogs and whatnot all the time, so yesterday I tried to do the same 'cause a friend of mine mentioned wanting to be able to read the onTap framework blog on the bus on his way to work. All seemed well except that where he's able to use hyperlinks from other folks rss feeds, he doesn't seem to be able to use any of mine. So I went looking for an rss reader to see if I could duplicate the problem. And what I've found is that, although there seems to be a "work group" for RSS, the vast majority of RSS information on the web is found in unnoficial (looking ?) sites with lots of circular links to poorly written documents which don't really explain it, FAQ's that don't exist, and web pages containing only the word "manganese" (try http://blogspace.com/rss/ and hit the first link at the top that says "Content Syndication with XML and RSS weblog"). The only xml schemas I've been able to find for rss (though xsd is _the_ standard for defining xml dialects like rss) were not only written in an old version of xsd, but also didn't validate as a result of using elements that didn't exist in the xsd or an xsd referenced by namespace. > > Anyway... If anybody on the list has any "real simple" rss information (as opposed to the really incomplete, really complicated, really undocumented, really broken and really not well maintained rss info I've found), I'd be greatly appreciative. > > Thanks, > > Isaac > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
