RSS question

Submitted by Tracy Winchell on Sat, 12/29/2007 - 4:55pm.

So how come is it that when I plug in this address to my feed reader, I don't get recently-added content? Like forum posts, calendar items, and blog posts?

http://www.thecitywire.com/rss.xml

As an example, go to http://tracyplaces.blogspot.com. I've added The City Wire feed on the top RH corner. I've done the same thing at http://tracyplaces.wordpress.com. Same results.

The widgets in blogspot and wordpress require an rss.xml extension. They're not as smart as netvibes, which can go "Oh, I get what you mean. I can make sure you watch that feed." wordpress and blogspot just go, "I ain't got a CLUE what you're talkin' about...

Recent RSS Feed

The front page and the recent posts are actually 2 different feeds.  If you point your browser to http://www.thecitywire.com/recent, you will get the recently added items.  At the bottom left of the page is the RSS icon to add the feed to your reader.

As far as geeking on this, adding by using the "rss.xml" addon is risky at best.  I simply just look in my address bar and see if there is an icon there for feeds on any site I visit.
