RSS Feeds not updating?

I've read all the other questions already and the answer sounds like it just doesn't work right in Yahoo! is that right? I have to delete my feeds, save that, and then put them back up again EVERY time. They've never updated.


Also, I tried to add a feed from gather.com and 360 gave me an error. I tried both the RSS, and the Yahoo specific feeds, and both gave errors...

RSS Feeds not updating?
I think what you have to do just to complain to Yahoo Customer Care. This is a very common problem and many users are suffering this.





Just inform them and wait, they will resolve it soon!


How to make my site RSS enable,so that users will get alerts...?

Hi all, first let me clarify what is rss in a very short. When site is enabled with RSS if any user subscribe/bookmark that page so that he gets the alerts on any kind of updations on that particular page or site. So how to make it. I have a site named www.bapubomma.com which is a small effort to put a famous artist online and all his works. There will be frequent updations in the site and i want to alert the user on this, so along my way to this, some one has given a hint about this RSS. Now i want to implement that immedietly so that the traffic to the site increases and so the money which will be helpful to that artist. In a short period i was able to put google adsense in my site.now my site is generating revenue ofcourse not much just about 5$ to 6$. Please help me i'll will be thankfull to you. Thanks in advance

How to make my site RSS enable,so that users will get alerts...?
RSS = Real Simple Syndication


If you haven't built your site yet, use a ready made website framework which already has RSS built in.





So, take Dotnetnuke as an example...


If your site is built using DNN as a framework, every module you deploy by default has an RSS feature you can turn on or off with a click.





Otherwise, you have to embed the code in your pages, specifying what RSS versions you wish to support.

RSS feeds?

Everytime I try to enter a RSS feed into my 360...I get "told" that the URL cannot be found. I am doing exactly as the directions are laid out on how to do it. When I "copy shortcut" nothing happens. In laymens terms can you tell me what it is to do?

RSS feeds?
There is a major issue with RSS feeds and Yahoo is aware of it.I have been told there is no time table for when it will be fixed.But its been an issue for quite a while now and hopefully they will do something about it soon.
Reply:Your welcome. Report It

Reply:The only thing I can say is the URL must end with xml. Check that once.


Rss link need help?

see this link http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/rss/





what file do you think it is in that folder that is loading?





its not index.html or any other extension that i tried





thnx

Rss link need help?
There may not be a real "directory" and "file" here to speak of. It is extremely common for web server software (like Apache HTTP Server) to allow URLs to map to virtual locations, and for websites to make use of that functionality. "http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/rss/... is very likely just an alias which tells the web server software to run some back-end CGI script whose output is what you see at that URL.


RSS on my 360?

On my Yahoo! 360 I want to add RSS feed from Yahoo Answers... but I tried a couple different things and i'm obviously doing something wrong. Help... step by step?

RSS on my 360?
%26lt; Copied and pasted from http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/pro... %26gt;





Follow these steps:


1. Go to your other blog or personal web site (or any site that provides them) and look for a little orange button like this (sorry, I can't get it to paste the example here. Wrong format. Try following link above for example) This shows that you can syndicate your content via RSS. Usually, this clickable button links directly to an RSS file. (The page looks like raw code, but don't let it scare you!)


2. To add the RSS URL to your Yahoo! 360° Feeds module, right-click on the orange XML button to "Copy Shortcut." Or click on the "XML" button and use "Ctrl-C" on your keyboard to copy the URL found in the address bar of your browser.


3. Use "Ctrl-V" to paste the URL into the field above. When you're done, click the "Save" button below.








Also... sometimes it can be a little glitchy. I do know from experience that if it at least holds in the space where you add it, even if it doesn't show on your page immediately... if you give it time. It will show up eventually. If it's not holding, or you are getting errors. Try again the next day as this problem usually sorts itself out rather quickly.

RSS feed: can anyone give examples, please ?

I'm embarrassed to ask this, because I'm fine with podcasts and downloads and almost everything digital. But although I've read what it is, the part of my brain which ought to understand is obviously missing.





It would be a real help, if you use RSS, if you could explain to me why and how you use it. In other words, tell me what you do.





I know, I'm pathetic. But lovable :)

RSS feed: can anyone give examples, please ?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS is a method of pushing news and related media to a user that subscribes to the RSS feed. The user utilizes what is known as a RSS aggregrator to consume the RSS feeds to present each feed's topics to the user. Typically, an RSS feed's entry will contain such things as a title/headline, post date, a brief synopsis of the article and a link to the full story. Sometimes (with an RSS 2.0 feed) images, audio and video are provided with the entry as well. Yahoo! wrote the RSS 2.0 Media specification that developers use to write their RSS feeds. RSS Feeds must comply with a specification to be properly consumed. The most popular feed specifications are RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 and Atom.





RSS Feeds


You can find an available RSS feed on a site when you see the square orange RSS icon (although some sites have not updated and use an orange block that says XML). Clicking on the icon, you will be provided with either the ability to add the feed to your aggregator or copy and paste the URL to your aggregrator.


Here is what the icon looks like:


http://feedicons.com/





Browsers with RSS Support


RSS has largely been overlooked for the last couple of years but the lastest browser versions have now integrated an RSS aggregator into the browser itself so you don't have to have separate software to consume RSS feeds. These browsers support RSS:


Apple's Safari (Mac Only)


http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/saf...





Internet Explorer 7.0 (Windows Only)


http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/defa...





Firefox 2.0 (Mac, Windows, Linux)


http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/





Flock Beta 0.7.8 (Mac, Windows)


http://flock.com/





RSS Feed Aggregators


If you don't have one of these browsers or do not want to use one, separate feed aggregators are:





NewsGator


http://www.newsgator.com/home.aspx





My Yahoo! RSS


http://my.yahoo.com/s/about/rss/index.ht...





FeedDemon


http://feeddemon.com/





This all may sound really complex, but once you start using RSS you'll find it amazing easy, productive, and informative.





Best of luck.





UPDATE:





I use RSS for news, blogs, and even product support. I like to keep up-to-date with world news and I also like tech gear. But I don't have the time to browse all the news and gear sites everyday. Instead, I get the articles sent to me and if it sounds interesting, I'll go and read the entire article. I also save some of the feeds in my reader so I can reference in the future. Digg is a good example as you can subscribe to any category or subcategory of topics so you only get the feeds that important to you.





I also use RSS for blogs. By doing this, I can receive feeds when a new post is added without having to visit the site periodically to check for new posts.





I also receive RSS feeds on product support. Some of the vendors that I use will publish updates, product announcements, and bug reports so I know right away by way of RSS.





Lastly, I also receive RSS feeds on sites with tutorials. This is a big help for me at work. It's nice to review new tutorials descriptions and if its something that I would like to learn, then I follow the link to the tutorial.





The great thing about RSS is that I often read over feeds and then a couple of weeks later, something comes up and I remember that I saw something related to the subject in my RSS. Then, I just search the feeds to find the topic and it's a great, big help.

when i click on the rss feed buttons i get some kind of skript.





i have a MacOSX computer, and i use Firefox.

how do i fix this?





thankyou

RSS problems with MacOSX?
You need an RSS reader to subscribe to RSS feeds. I use newsfire. It's a beautiful program and I don't know how I lived without it. If you are looking for a free RSS reader, try Vienna.

RSS business ideas ...?

how much potential do people think there is with RSS?

RSS business ideas ...?
I think there is a fair amount of potential in feeding RSS to mobile devices, TV, fridges etc. Perhaps there is money to be made from embedding adverts in the feed? What angle are you approaching this from?





Update:





IM is important and mature, and email is undoubtedly more so. RSS may be immune from spam, and (we'll assume) from virii, but does this make it important enough to be the next big thing in communications technology? With all due respect, don't forget it's just a simple XML doctype for publishing summaries of content. I believe that semantic web technologies will play a important role in e-commerce, but RSS is "baby steps" compared to the prospect of a fully machine-readable web.





Prove me wrong. People who do clever things with simple technologies are often the greatest pioneers.


RSS on PSP?

Can someone go through the steps of how to put rss video on the psp from the psp's browser?

RSS on PSP?
I doubt PSP has RSS... you usually need a program, or a browser plug-in for that.





Check around on google, or your User's Manual if RSS is a possibility.
Reply:The psp is indeed rss capable believe it or not. It really isnt that difficult, you just need to find a site with the link orange icon on it that says rss. Then when you click on that it will ask you if you want to add the rss feed. Fantastic!

I know why RSS is good for the consumer, but how can it be good for the web designer?

I know why RSS is good for the consumer, but how can it be good for the web designer and site owner? Doesn't it end up keeping people away from your website since they simply subscribe to your data and don't have any reason to visit?





Yes it's good that people are reading your data (blogs, etc.) but your hits go down and ad revenue dwindles if people stop coming.





Isn't that what a commecial site owner would be thinking about RSS?

I know why RSS is good for the consumer, but how can it be good for the web designer?
Yes, and some sites provide "partial" feeds via RSS, requiring the user to go to the site before being able to read all the data.





The argument for full feeds more or less runs like this: You need to entice users to your site. By providing a full feed you are giving your users what they want, and they will be more inclined to look upon you favorably. So rather than directly forcing eyeballs to your site, you are working on the reputation of your site for quality data, and hoping the users will pass along your site to others through bloglines or deli.cio.us, and getting new eyeballs indirectly.


What is the RSS feed for Flickr photos with two tags?

I am trying to get/make an rss feed for public flickr photos with TWO tags. Specifically, I want "valentine" and "cupcakes", so all the images need to have both tags. I have found lots of resources on how to do one tag (cupcakes):


http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/pho...


but not two. I don't know how to do much coding, for example this looks too complicated:


http://justagwailo.com/2005/09/20/multip...


Can someone please find me the formula?

What is the RSS feed for Flickr photos with two tags?
In its RSS feeds, Flickr doesn't let you get photos tagged with all tags you tell it in an RSS feed, so I whipped up a script that, if you have your own server, creates RSS feeds of the tags you specify. If you called it 'multitags.php', and you put it on your site, say example.com, the URL would look something like http://www.example.com/multitags.php?tag... That would get you an RSS feed (in a format very similar to the format of the RSS feeds that Flickr outputs) of photos that are tagged with both 'vancouver' and 'seawall'.





If you used a comma instead of a plus, it looks for photos tagged with either of the tags, so http://www.example.com/multitags.php?tag... would get you photos tagged with 'vancouver' mixed in with the photos tagged with 'seawall'. There is a way to get RSS feeds of tags this way, but why figure that out. How to do it is in a forum somewhere, but I couldn't remember where, so I just coded that into the script.





You'll need two things to use the script: the excellent phpFlickr library (support for uploading coming, nice!) and a Flickr API key, which you can get at http://www.flickr.com/services/api/. You'll need to change the three variables at the top of the script, which follows, accordingly.





A note about the code: the first little bit about the XML declaration making up multiple lines is a workaround for the code dispaly. And yes, there are a lot of print statements. It makes it easier for me to debug.





It's probably best to keep the URL secret, so that the only person hitting the script is you. The RSS feeds work for me in NetNewsWire, but please do submit bug reports in the comments.

As I come at the internet/computer from a graphic art end rather than a software etc-I'm confused. Could someone please explain the difference between them-why I would want to "back-up" my blog in either and how it backs it up? Are they different "languages" of info on the net? Or the way the info flows? I notice alot of news media in RSS- Thanks bunches! from an artist in a new world (ha)

Rss feeds?????

what do you mean by rss feeds....this thing is bugging me...kindly help....????

Rss feeds?????
RSS is a standard format for syndicating content on the Internet. The content can be anything! Often information contained in an RSS feed is syndicated on other sites which expands its reach.





Website visitors love RSS because they choose which feeds they wish to subscribe to, if at any point they are unhapy with the content contained in the RSS feed they simply unsubscribe and no longer receive notification of feed updates.





RSS is really a win, win for both subscribers and publishers.





In order to get a better understanding of how RSS works download an RSS reader or use a web aggregator and subscribe to an RSS feed (they are usually indicated by a small orange icon).

why can't i see the rss feed link in my 360 blog?

Rss Feed and 360 blog?
You have to activate that option and it can only be used on "Public" blogs. Your blog is not a Public blog, so that option is not available.





If you want to change this, click on "My Blog". Click on "Edit Blog Settings." Set "Who can see your blog" to Public. Then, you can check the Publish Site Feed option and click the SAVE button.





You will then see orange RSS %26amp; My Yahoo buttons under your blog entries, which people can use to set up a feed to your blog.

RSS feed. How do I add it to my site?

I don't understand the use of RSS feed. Is it only to blog with?

RSS feed. How do I add it to my site?
Feeds/RSS are used if you want to show content from other websites on your 360 page. It updates to show new content from blogs, news websites, your favorite websites, etc. "If you have another blog on Live Journal, Typepad, Xanga, or Wordpress, you can create an RSS feed of that blog and add it to Yahoo! 360°."


You are allowed 3 feeds.





If you're on a site, you can check to see if the site has feeds. The link to view a website's "RSS"/feed is usually on the side panel or at the very bottom of most websites.





Here some examples of sites with feeds:


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/help/3223484....


http://news.yahoo.com/rss


http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/


http://www.livejournal.com/syn/list.bml








For example:


On the BBC site, it says "Choose a feed." You click the echoing, orange icon or the and you'll be take to that particular feed's page. Then, you can copy the URL of the feed from your address bar and paste it into the boxes on your 360 page.





*Note: Some sites work better with Y! 360 than others. I.E. BBC feeds works great with 360, but a lesser known website might not work as well.
Reply:RSS feeds give you daily updates of news, sports, jokes or whatever you subscribe to. The feeds will show up on your 360 page and should update daily. It's best if you follow Yahoo's instructions on how to search for and install feeds.


BUT; Right now the feeds are kinda messed up and not working right, so if you get an error message, just ignore it and the feeds should start working in a few days.


Login to your 360, click on “My Page” in the top navigation bar. In the middle of your page, you will see Add Feeds. Click on it and from there you can also search for feeds to add.
Reply:Go to edit my Feeds. And then you post a rss but it has to be a URL address. Copy the URL address you want to add to your Feed and then paste it in one of the spaces. You only get 3 spaces.. After you paste the Feed go to save. You may be a error and then go back to save and click again. Then it may take awhile to show up. Mine took a week. But some say a couple of days. If it does not show up soon just go back to it and click save again. But all Feeds have to have a URL

Your question doesn't make much sense, but I'll try to help.





If what you mean is, you needed a way to display an RSS feed on your Web site, and you found a PHP page to do it, then no, the free Web hosting you noted won't work.





Try using http://www.addyour.net instead.





As an alternative, you can read RSS feeds with JavaScript and use that to display the results on a regular HTML page. You won't need to change hosts then.
