RSS feeds

Looks like they don't work...

I thought it would be nice to use them in the new DF-site, but the URL:
http://www.planetjailbreak.com/scripts/xmlbase.pl/news/rss.xml
doesn't return anything....

or isn't it supposed to work in a normal browser?

try using download manager?

It returns a large block of text that looks like HTML for me. I'm using Opera, maybe your browser doesn't display .xml files properly?

RSS feeds don't work in most browsers. They are meant to be used in an RSS reader, also called a news aggregator.

However... the latest version of Firefox supports them with a new feature called Live Bookmarks.
I'm about to add the meta-tag to our main page to enable it to work with that. You bookmark the RSS icon in the status bar, and you then get a "magic" folder in your bookmarks that always contains the latest PJB news headlines!

Done!

Here's a screenie of my Firefox 1.0PR showing the live bookmark folder open. The headlines in that folder will be updated to match the state of PJB's RSS feed.

This could make a news post if there's nothing else to report in a week or so.

I still get a empty window when trying to open it in IE6. I'm gonna try mozilla/Firefox soon.

But it's working on my website!

All PJB RSS feeds lead to the top of the newspage ...

U use the feed "as is", the links are including the article number....
so I think this is something in the JB site..

IE doesn't support RSS. So yeah, you won't see anything.
