I think it would be great to have a WMAS RSS feed with the top 10 or 20 viewed and/or replied MB topics.

Your right It is still not working 100%. I started working on getting an rss feed running a couple of months ago and abandoned it because I didn't think anybody would use it. ------------- Jake Pehrson Murray http://coralplanet.com" rel="nofollow - coralplanet.com http://utahbeeranch.com" rel="nofollow - :) |

Q. What is RSS? A. From webreference.com: Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other Web content. Think of it as a distributable "What's New" for your site. Originated by UserLand in 1997 and subsequently used by Netscape to fill channels for Netcenter, RSS has evolved into a popular means of sharing content between sites (including the BBC, CNET, CNN, Disney, Forbes, Motley Fool, Wired, Red Herring, Salon, Slashdot, ZDNet, and more). RSS solves myriad problems webmasters commonly face, such as increasing traffic, and gathering and distributing news. RSS can also be the basis for additional content distribution services. Q. Okay that's cool, but how can it help me? Q. What do I use to view the RSS feed? Hope that helps. I am also going to make a FAQ with this information. ------------- Jake Pehrson Murray http://coralplanet.com" rel="nofollow - coralplanet.com http://utahbeeranch.com" rel="nofollow - :) |

You can find the full-blown description of RSS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rss - here . Basically they
are live bookmarks that update automatically thus allowing you to
quickly see what has been updated on a website without having to go to
the website. Hope that makes sense. THANKS JAKE!!!  I don't know
about other people but I can't imagine surfing without RSS feeds.
They are the 1st thing I go to when I want to see what's been posted on
my favorite sites. With all the posting that goes on in our
forums an RSS feed would save me a lot of time.------------- Phil Sandy, Utah |

I had to pull the RSS feeds due to a bug. I will see if I can find some time to get this fixed and get it back up and going. ------------- Jake Pehrson Murray http://coralplanet.com" rel="nofollow - coralplanet.com http://utahbeeranch.com" rel="nofollow - :) |

I wonder if there is one for my treo 650? It would save me a ton of sit in front of the computer time, which would make my wife happy.

Okay, I think I have fixed the rss bug that presented itself yesterday. I have re-added the RSS link on your left. For those who want to give it a try on their computers, I use a program called rssreader found here. http://www.rssreader.com/ - http://www.rssreader.com/ For those that want to try it on their phone, handhelds, blackberries, etc. I like http://www.feedalot.com - www.feedalot.com . ------------- Jake Pehrson Murray http://coralplanet.com" rel="nofollow - coralplanet.com http://utahbeeranch.com" rel="nofollow - :) |

For those who care: I have updated the web site so that FireFix 1.5 automatically detects the RSS feed. If you have FireFox 1.5 you can click on the "Add Live Bookmark" button  in the address bar.
