Rick Brewster Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I use a program called RSS Bandit. It basically gives you an e-mail like interface that aggregates all sorts of blogs or other news feeds.

Rick Brewster Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Yeah it does the job of going to all the blogs or newsfeeds and getting all the updates for you. You can also get comics with it Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Also, Internet Explorer 7 will have RSS support. Works nice and easy as a sidebar. You can get the beta, as I have. Or wait for the final release, as will be out shortly. Quote My DA: http://leif-j.deviantart.com/ -------------- Some people seek justice so persistent, that they will do great injustice themselves.

Rick Brewster Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 RSS Bandit should just auto-discover the feed ... http://blogs.msdn.com/rickbrew/rss.xml , I think Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picc84 Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Nope, i tried the link you have me, and it did not work, and what do you mean, autodiscover the feed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Do you have any RSS reader? Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picc84 Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 yes, Rss Bandit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Ok so copy the link Rick gave (in FFX right-click, copy link location), the open RSS Bandit click the "New Feed" button, and paste the link in the feed field.

Picc84 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 Got it! thanks bro... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosswalker Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Just another RSS tool. I use Google desktop sidebar and it tends to discover any feed that I come across whilst browsing the web and add it as an available feed (google calls it web clips).
