RSS Forwarding using IFTTT & a Nokia 3.1

For those of us for whom email is a bit passé, we want to recieve our Jira updates using feeds, either because it allows us to choose our browser, or for other reasons. I hope the following links help. Continue reading “RSS from JIRA”
In order to export the ello.co feed, I need to convert the JSON to XML. This isn’t the first time I have needed to look at this sort of problem and so I have created a page to hold my notes. I have put these things together in a python script, and posted it to github, in a repo called ello2rss. Continue reading “JSON to XML”
Time to see if I can load the Oracle Blog into my blog.davelevy.info. It seems to be behind a login screen now, although the index page seems available if you known the URL. Continue reading “Leaving blogs.oracle.com”
To find your Storify’s story feed, the following URL works; http://storify.com/rss/<User Name>. Odd indeed.
I have for a long time sought to present rss feeds within pages on this blog. It was started by a desire to use my social bookmark service as additional links in some of the reference articles on this wiki. The page was started in Jun 2014. Here my notes, although this page was subject to a major re-write in 2020.
There are further notes on my original delicious solution, involving their script and code embed
, on Delicious Linkrolls and how I attempted to recover the delicious bookmark file. See also “About Feeds”, which is a private page, using the older wordpress plugins.
This page has notes on all the plugins I have used/experimented with.
I installed this on my momentum blog, and it sort of works. Here are some links, I got it to render, but can’t get it to post pictures on my rss files and would like to access the element names to fiddle with the css.
I posted my linkedin.rss to this page on my momentum blog. I had some problems rendering the thumbnail images. I suspect the rss syntax. Here are some links,
My rss looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>dave levy's linkedin blog</title> <description>dave levy's posts at linkedin pulse</description> <link>http://davelevy.info/pulse/linkedin.rss</link> <lastBuildDate>Tue, 25 Apr 2017 09:45:09 +0100</lastBuildDate> <pubDate>Tue, 25 Apr 2017 09:45:09 +0100</pubDate> <item> <title>Learnings of Bitcoin</title> <link>https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/learnings-bitcoin-david-levy</link> <description>On Bitcoin, the consensus mechanism, and money</description> <media:content height="151" medium="image" url="https://static01.nyt.com/images/2019/08/23/upshot/up-econ/up-econ-moth.jpg" width="151"/> <pubDate>28 JUL 2020 0900 +0100</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Doing Record Management well</title> <link>https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/doing-record-management-well-david-levy/</link> <description>About Record Management, anti-crime and ISO standards</description> <image> <url>https://is.gd/MwPNtT</url> <title>Doing Record Mangement Well</title> <link>http://davelevy.info/pulse/linkedin.rss</link> <description>About Record Management, anti-crime and ISO standards</description> <height>81</height> <width>141</width> </image> <pubDate>15 JUL 2020 10:00 +0100</pubDate> </item> <item>
I have also used RSS Shortcode, and have implemented it on the About Feeds page. I am not sure why I discontinued with this, might have been it gave me nothing that JP-RSS-FEED did not, time to revisit as JP-RSS-Feed seems to have given up the ghost.
I moved onto JP’s Get RSS Feed, a wordpress plugin. I planned to use this to replace my delicious linkrolls using the delicious rss location. See also my snip, Delicious Linkrolls.
It requires a shortcode/codesnip to invoke its parameters e.g
[jp-rss-feed url="http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/davelevy/convoyswharf" numitems="7" getdesc="50" ]
I should document this differently; the snip must be on one line, and no space between the [ & the ‘jp’.
There’s a few more parameters which are documented on their home page
and now we have another RSS rendering widget,RSS via shortcode on page
I am not sure how I used this but it seems I wrote “this was found to be broken on 17th October 2016”.
There is also, this page, on the 4 best rss plugins.
The RSS buttons are much harder to find in the new look Flickr. Continue reading “Flickr and RSS”
This post was written in 2013 and I discovered in May 2018 that most of the links failed. It’s been a while, and it surprises me that my little wiki has lasted longer than the resources I point to, but not here. I could have deleted this post, but chose not to; I have heavily edited it so it’s as much a diary as the technical note it once was.
I missed the announcement that Twitter were upgrading their API. I only discovered it when they ran their “test blackouts”. It has broken. This means my ‘mingle’, friend feed and hence facebook feeds are now without my twitter goodness. The rest of this post lists then contemporary resources to help rescue the feeds. Continue reading “Twitter API V1.1 (Deprecated)”
I use Sam Ruby’s Planet Venus. The package comes with two themes, I have always rather liked the ‘Fancy’ theme. This article was finished in May 2011, and talks about the css required to amend a planet output page in HTML/CSS. It was written for my planet G3 feed which was a G3 RSS repeater. It may just be a useful source for those who wish to create new themes. (I shall be doing this in March/April 2015 as I develop the refresh of davelevy.info.) Continue reading “Planet (Venus) Themes (CSS)”
I decided to have another go as I was looking to consume some planet feeds on a static web page. I found Display Your Feed on a Static HTML Page Using FeedBurner’s BuzzBoost using Google and this points at Feedburner’s Buzzboost, which is part of their feed publicity toolset. Continue reading “Implementing an XML feed viewer in HTML”
This page was originally entitled “Snipsnap Blog & XML Feeds”. It documented one of the crucial failings in snipsnap, its limited rss feed size of 10 and the blog article naming which means that it considered nearly all the articles to be titled “1”. In 2009, I experimented with using Google reader as a feed aggregator, good choice eh? The final part of this article documented my experiments and gave hints on how to follow me using the google reader feed. This is now no longer available, but neither is snipsnap. Continue reading “Snipsnap, RSS & XML feeds”
This was copied across from the snipsnap bliki on 26th July. It’s all a bit redundant now, but it might be useful for others. This was a pagfe that documented my work in building the configuration and in some places represented a work in progress. In some cases, the resolution is not documented and in others I failed to resolve it. I eventually gave up on snipsnap. Hope this page helps someone! Continue reading “Snipsnap Problems”
This article, which was originally about how to extend snipsnap & was copied across from the snipsnap bliki on 20th June 2013, I gave up on Snipsnap later in the year, and the project has been abandoned by its authors. This content is thus pretty much superseded and the title but not the link has changed to reflect this.. There has been some minimal reformatting undertaken. There are two idioms used which are snipsnap specific; they have been left as originally published and are now a nonsense. Other things will read oddly as I did not pursue my plans. Embedding Disqus broke the backup utility, or more accurately broke the restore. Continue reading “Extending Snipsnap (superceded)”
I need to do this for the various RSS feeds I create.
Isn’t google wonderful? See Peter Freitag’s article on his blog. Peter refers to browsers displaying the RSS feed address behind a button, this went out of fashion
Dave Johnson writes about it at this article on his blog
and Matt Montgomery of sun pointed me at this macro for Roller
#showAutodiscoveryLinks($model.weblog)
I copied this across on 18th July 2013, it’s been a long time since I looked at this, and the disappearance from the browser url text box is an annoyance, wonder if user styles could compensate. Wonder why it went away.
The blog documents the RSS autodiscovery LINK meta tag and I repeat it here.
