RSS Feed

Agent Buckshot Moose · 08-05-2008, 01:41 PM

So, I just thought I'd let everyone know there is an RSS feed at the bottom of the news page. I didn't even notice it existed until someone on the beta forums started talking about it. It was then pointed out that we do indeed have an RSS feed, and apparently have had it forever. So for those of you who can't bear to be without FF news all the time, here's your chance.

Yes, I was going to say there has always been an RSS.

Really Simple Syndication.

Basically, you can embed it into web sites or applications that have a news aggregater built in. So for instance, Google has an iGoogle app online you can add items to, such as RSS feeds, Widgets, and other cool stuff. Here's an image of my iGoogle page, it's got practically everything I check when I'm online:

You see Fortress news in the top left of the page? Well, iGoogle sets it's own formatting for news, and then displays it with up to date info any time FF decides to add a news post. I just have to provide the link to the RSS feed (http://www.fortress-forever.com/rss/) and it will pull the info from that page.

He knew really.

KubeDawg · 08-05-2008, 06:34 PM

Ok, but a lot of people don't, so I posted under the assumption that he didn't really know, knowing that in fact, he might just be being sarcastic, especially with the emoticon he posted underneath his comment.
