|
|
Is there an RSS feed for the new blog?
When I click on the orange RSS button on the firefox bar on "http://www.linuxformat.com/blog" I get redirected to "http://www.linuxformat.com/rss_feed" but get a "Page not found" error.
I'd like to be able to see blog posts in Google Reader.
Thanks! |

Hi finster,
Try: feed://www.linuxformat.com/rss.xml
That should give a feed of the Blog entries. If some folks could make sure that works, I'll add an RSS icon to the site interface.
RSS for the forums requires a bit more work, but I'll be looking into that today.
Cheers!
Mike |

Doesn't seem to work with 'My Yahoo!'. I get the following error when I try to add it as an RSS feed:
"Please enter a valid URL and try again."
Clicking on the link gives me an error (not a 404, but similar) in IE6 on Windows. (I'm at work, I have no choice.)
Cheers,
Peter |

I think you need to change the url to http://www.linuxformat.com/rss.xml at least that is what I had to do to get it to work in Thunderbird  _________________ still looking for that door into summer |

Thanks towy71. It didn't work, but I experimented a bit and found that this does work:
http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/rss.xml
Note the change from .com to .co.uk
All is fine and dandy now!
Cheers, |

Lo,
Both (.com and .co.uk) work fine for me -- no reason they should be any different as they both point to the exact same IP address!

Hmm. Do you mean that they both worked with 'My Yahoo!'?
I just tried doing it in Firefox (still on Windows) and the .com version worked. It wouldn't work on IE in the office, though.
