One of the best weapons against Internet information overload has been Really Simple Syndication. It&#039;s a technology that feeds you updates from blogs or news sites as they&#039;re available, keeping you from having to troll Web sites to find what you&#039;re interested in.

In this new tutorial from DevShed (in their "RSS Reader" series), they finally get down to the real heart of the application - the code.   The other other two parts prepared you for this, the creation of the actual RSS file - correctly formatted and filled with data. They also include a simple feed reader so you can ensure your document can be read correctly.   Unfortunately, they chose to go with a long line of fwrites to push out each line of the file instead of pushing it all into one string and writing that. Using the multiples makes more work for the file handling and could result in a slowdown for a large amount of items in the RSS file.

"We are happy to announce  that Rojo passed the million feed mark today. This means that we are now regularly indexing and updating over 1 million RSS and Atom feeds--and all of them are searchable via Rojo. If you are not already a Rojo user but would like to be during our beta trials, you can be invited by a friend or request an invite from us here."  Rojo  is now aggregating and indexing 1 million feeds.  To be precise exactly 1,000,239 feeds.  This makes Rojo one of the largest feed search engines on the market today!  The ability to have feeds pre-indexed means that when you join Rojo you'll already have access to the feeds you need and a high probability that an archive will exist.  Th ...

If you're both a WordPress an Mint user and are wanting to integrate them the easy way, check out this new entry from Chris Hartjes about combining the two.   Now, the installation is fairly easy but there was a weird bug that was appearing, where a check to see if you are running a licensed copy of Mint kept getting triggered when I tried to access my feeds via a feed alias. The solution? An ugly hack, if you ask me.   The problem was with a Pepper for Mint called Bird Feeder Pepper that helps track RSS feed usage. The solution he found was a snippet of PHP code you'll need to insert into several of the feed scripts WordPress offers (as provided).

Ben Ramsey has posted a (quick) new items over on his blog that looks at solving two problems he was having with his blog - the now non-functional Flickr feed and a sorting problem with array_multisort.   I recently upgraded a few things around here (in particular, an upgrade to PHP 5.2), and I noticed two issues that occurred after the upgrade. [...] I easily solved both of these issues.   The correction to the Flickr feed involved changing the namespace information for his request (adding a trailing slash) because the SimpleXML functionality got a bit more particular about the format.   The problem with array_multisort involved adding in a parameter that was implied in previous PHP versions, SORT_STRING, to get his code correctly working.

In the continuing series on RSS files, DevShed has posted this new part with a focus on the "theoretical aspects" of developing an RSS file.   These aspects include things like examples of the elements it can contain, elements that are required for it to be a compliant RSS document, a look at the enhanced RSS functionality and structure (more information about the creator of the RSS embedded in the data), and even a look at what an aggregator is and what they would do with your RSS file.   Keep an eye out for the last installment in the series - a look at actually creating the RSS file from your data (probably from a database) and displaying it for the world to see.

RayS on Twitter asked why it is that more feed readers don't support the &lt;comments> element in RSS 2.0. Interestingly, less than two hours before, I had added the element to the Scripting News feed. It's appropriate because there are now per-element comments here, people who subscribe should have the benefit in addition to people who read this blog in a web browser. Truth is that some feed readers do support the comments element. All of mine do, dating back to Radio 8.0 shipped in January 2002, which is still my daily reader. It's really a simple feature, not very hard to implement. If an item has a comments element, it's represented as a little pencil in the right margin. Click on it and you go directly to the comments. Maybe by writing about it here we'll find out that others already support it, and maybe encourage others to add support.

Feedburner feeds are being used on more and more sites.  More innovation in the RSS space is certianly a good thing.  One problem we always had is that RSS seems to have *too* much innovation. People are trying to innovate and bend and shape the RSS specification meet their needs but sometimes things can get out of control.  A recent example is what FeedBurner is doing with the 'link' element in their RSS feeds.  Lets use John Batelle's RSS feed as an example.  John has an RSS feed at:  Which is redirected to:  (I should note that FeedBurner setup a really nice CSS style for this feed but it would be nice if they added Rojo  to the list of feeds you can subscribe to... anyway... )  Now i ...

Over on the Rojo blog  Chris writes:  "Thanks very much to Steve Gillmor for alerting us to a bug in how we, and other aggregators, were parsing New York Times RSS feeds. In short, stories older than 7 days or so were linking to abstracts of the articles, not the full articles themselves. This is something we will fix. Steve speculated that perhaps the "Times doesn't want server-based aggregators such as Bloglines and Rojo to consistently allow permalink access beyond seven days." Fortunately we don't see any evidence of that and in fact believe NYT has done a great job in making their content available via RSS, particularly by including a specific "partner" parameter on the URL for RSS aggr ...
