New Feature - RSS Feed for the MR2OC NZ Forum

Post by mista2 »

RSS usually stands for "Really Simple Syndication" and is a way of publishing web content to a client usually known as an RSS Aggregator.
This lets you gather new content form all sorts of websites and it shows you the top 15 new posts (usually) for that site.

There are many different RSS clients to try, but I've used the "Sage RSS" Plugin for Mozilla Firefox for testing the new feature on this site.

If you want to get the RSS Feed, create a new Feed (bookmark) in your RSS client that points to www.mr2.org.nz/phpBB2/rss.php

You can change the number of posts returned by adding
?c=[Number between 1 & 50] to the end of the URL
eg: www.mr2.org.nz/phpBB2/rss.php?c=50 will return the 50 most recent posts.

Let me know how you go as I am interested in feedback on this feature.
