NMK RSS

A very big Yay! for the eminent Doctor Duncan Barnes who has used the clever screen-scraping technique that he employed to create full feeds from the BBC to produce an RSS feed for the NMK website! The feed should probably be described as ‘beta’, since we’re still tweaking and I haven’t yet made it public to the NMK readership, but if you want the stuff I’m writing sans alcool, then you should subscribe here*.

Duncan is planning revisions to his script that will render the feed more faithfully in the next couple of months. However, the Feedburner address shouldn’t change. Have noticed that Bloglines sometimes doesn’t register new items (i.e. highlight the feed in bold) but clicking on the feed will show them nonetheless. Feedback about performance in other RSS aggregators would be great.

    The feed seems to work in Google Reader although one or two of the items seemed to show up without images – I didn’t check whether or not it was a problem with the feed itself.

  2. Ian Delaney says:

    Many thanks, Paddy, for the feedback.

    Images are currently hosted offsite on Zooomr, which makes for a tortuous route for any RSS aggregator.

  3. Duncan says:

    Cheers for the feedback as well, (and Ian for the linkage!).

    I’ll be working on the script more tomorrow as there is a problem with articles from certain sections. I’m watching the feeds both direct from the parser on my site and through Feedburner, hopefully it’ll be all happy by the end of tomorrow.
