Update on My-RSS.co.uk

Steve Burgess has announced some new developments on his My-RSS site. My-RSS enables you to generate your own RSS feeds and host them on the My-RSS site. It is an ideal service for those who are not allowed to host feeds on their own web sites.

The site has been moved to a dedicated server and the domain name
my-rss.accessions.co.uk is now no longer in use. The site now lives at
http://www.my-rss.co.uk/.

Statistics

The site now collects information on how frequently feeds have been accessed, monthly statistics on how many times the XML file has been requested, and also how often the HTML version of the feed has been viewed.

Developments

The site has had a minor design overhaul and some changes have been made to the menu system. Authors who have more than one feed can access them from the "Your Feeds" menu rather from the drop down select box used previously. The next change will be to allow you to select items from associated feeds by checking all the relevant articles then submitting - rather than having to submit one by one.

UKeiG events feed

As well as an events feed on the UKeiG web site, listing the seminars and workshops in our training programme, we have a similar feed on My-RSS, feed URL http://www.my-rss.co.uk/feed32.xml. Alternatively, you can view an HTML version of the feed by selecting UKeiG from the drop down menu on the My-RSS home page.

If are thinking of setting up your own RSS feed and are not sure what to do, My-RSS is a good place to start. Just sign up for a free account, and fill in the boxes when prompted. My-RSS does the rest.
