I needed to check my notes on RSS autodiscovery; I wrote about it in passing in my article on Venus, and on returning found this article by Pete Freitag. The key idiom is to add a <link> tag in the <head> section of your html page. Here are more notes … Read More

I made an aggregation of the NEC blogs I could find, it’s not finished as I need to install some margins, make it responsive and possibly reposition the meta panels. I looked at my snip, Planet (Venus) themes (CSS) and revised it slightly, otherwise here are my notes. …

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. Read More
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.

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. (I gave up the delicious file, it was too big, and too old; too much was broken and now useless. )
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 tested this with my linkedin.rss to 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”.
I fixed the simplepie version of the RSS rendering engine, it errored on the obverse of the home page ; it works on my ex-deliciuious files, but not if named .rss, I changed it to .xml. e.g.
It seems to have concatenated the two widgets into one short code.
There is also, this page, on the 4 best rss plugins.
The RSS buttons are much harder to find in the new look Flickr. Read More
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 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.) Read More
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. Now marked deprecated.
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. Read More
