I couldn't agree more with Stuart. I used Feed2JS for a long time (now don't use it anymore) and one thing which I found was it was doing a double job of running Magpie on Feed2JS server and apparently collecting the feed and then delivering it on my site and this made the loading of the page invariably slow. And at times if script failed to fetch the feed the end page was completely blank.
So not saving yourself time upfront in implementing Magpie RSS could pay a lot in the end. -- Manoj Khanna [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover the Open Source World @ http://www.rapidblog.com --- In [email protected], "Stuart Whitmore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Rather than using a tool (Feed2JS) that uses another tool (Magpie RSS) > to get to the data, I think it would be simpler to just use Magpie > directly.
