??? RSS/XML Feed?
Would it be possible for DH to get an RSS feed for the news postings? Is it hard to implement?

Nope, just like to keep up with most of the news. Regularly read:

- DH News forum
- The Inquirer
- [H]ardOCP
- nV News
- Overclockers.com
- X-bit labs
- Elite Bastards News forum

Occasionally read:

- The Register
- AnandTech
- Tom's Hardware
- Ars Technica
- OnlyNewZ
- AMDZone

I've subscribed to most of the other sites RSS feeds, and just thought I'd ask if DH will get one.

I'm pleased to announce the "Uber" RSS feed

http://www.hardwareheaven.com/rss.php

Should be OK as several sites validate our current news page.

It's an xml file that holds news in a specific way.
News readers use it.

Looks like it's working here.

Or you could tell me how's it's broke so I stand a slim chance of fixing it compared to zero

However, it IS valid RSS/XML.

Just because IE can't display it properly doesn't make it any less correct.

Could you possibly change the links so they point to the forum threads instead of the news posting?

Posting a thread in the forum is optional when making a news post.
As such, it stays as it is unless it always posts a thread.

I'll keep you updated.

DH's RSS Fead does valitate, sure ... but there are still two bugs:

1. the contained links are wrong - a ".php" is missing in every link to the news itself, e.g.

http://www.hardwareheaven.com/showthre...threadid=41998

instead of showthread.php ...

2. The <description> Tag is full of chairs like &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt; ... you should't make use of any HTML-Tags in the <description>-area

Change it, and it's not far from being perfect

The specification allows HTML for description field.

Eerr ... the rss doesn't work now at all (not found). And I can't reach http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rs...entsOfLtitemgt at all ... (?)

Hm, then my rss reader must have a problem, as it just displays "<br />", instead of making a linebreak.

I've stripped HTML for the time being.

It may be related to the character encoding issue I have at the moment.

Ah, it works 100% perfectly now, even with my rss reader (Firefox/Mozilla Sidebar RSS Reader).

Nice work

[EDIT]:

Sorry, the .php Problem is still not fixed. The created links are now like this one:

http://www.hardwareheaven.com/showthre...adid=42038.php

Ahem ...

Works

However, I would prefer an rss feed containing only the news that are actually on the front page of DH ... I don't know how others thing about it
