I'd like to retrieve the older messages from a message board in my RSS Reader. For example, if I choose the "Older" link on http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/mb/YHO... I can scroll back though old messages. I'd like to do this using RSS - any ideas?
Using an RSS Reader, how can I access the "older" messages from Yahoo Message Board.?
nope! all rss feeds are just the latest news.
a rss feed could carry full contents... but most 'feeders' like to keep them small!

RSS is technology
What is RSS( technology) , advantage and disadvantage, funtion or system of RSS?
RSS is a web feed format. Whats advantage or disadvantage? I can't think of any disadvantage, unless you would want to compare with some other feed formats. Feed readers or aggregators can check a list of feeds on behalf of a user and display any updated articles that they find. So you can have a list of feeds on your reader and check if there is anything new on the site without actually visiting the site.

Reply:RSS means Really Simple Syndicate, is the technology that make you up-to-date.
You can subscribe to the feed in many ways, in your browser, in a program, or in a web-based solution, such as protopage.com. The feed will update itself automatically.
Reply:It's a method for publishers to provide content via a subscription model using a feed reader. The content could be just a headline, summary, full text story or podcast. It varies based on the publisher.
The publishers can be people like webmasters, bloggers, reports and so on. The content is contained in a machine readable file that the feed reader uses to format and present the data to you. Similar to what an email application does when it grabs your email.
To get the feed, a user needs to "subscribe". This is a way of telling your feed reader you want to go get this web feed.
The main benefit is you don't need to go out to a website to see what content is new. Your feed reader determines this by getting the feed and determining what's new. It reduces the amount of time it takes you to view sites. Instead of going to 20 sites daily, you can aggregate all the new content in one place and review it. If something looks interesting, you can click the title to go to the original source.
The disadvantage is it may not be as interactive experience as some users like. For example, if the content is from a blog that allows comments, you may not be able to enter them using your feed reader.
Reply:RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary. Syndicating means republishing an article that comes from another source such as a website.
An RSS is a means of publicizing updates about websites. It may or may not include a summary and photos of the latest posting. But those that provide summaries (thus Rich Site Summary) allow users to skim through the article so that they could decide later on if they want to access the website source. The RSS feed usually contains the title of the update originating from the website. It is also usually the link to the website source.
What are the benefits of RSS?
RSS gives benefits to both readers (users) and web publishers.
1.It gives you the latest updates.
Whether it is about the weather, new music, software upgrade, local news, or a new posting from a rarely-updates site learn about the latest as soon as it comes out.
2.It saves on surfing time.
Since an RSS feed provides a summary of the related article, it saves the user’s time by helping s/he decide on which items to prioritize when reading or browsing the net.
3.It gives the power of subscription to the user.
Users are given a free-hand on which websites to subscribe in their RSS aggregators which they can change at any time they decide differently.
4.It lessens the clutter in your inbox.
Although your email address will be required to enjoy the services of online RSS aggregators, RSS does not use your email address to send the updates.
5.It is spam free.
Unlike email subscriptions, RSS does not make use of your email address to send updates thus your privacy is kept safe from spam mails.
6.Unsubscribing is hassle-free.
Unlike email subscriptions where the user is asked questions on why s/he is unsubscribing and then the user would be asked to confirm unsubscribing, all you have to do is to delete the RSS feed from your aggregator.
7.It can be used as an advertising or marketing tool.
Users who subscribe or syndicate product websites receive the latest news on products and services without the website sending spam mail. This is advantageous to both the web user and the website owner since advertising becomes targeted; those who are actually interested in their products are kept posted.
What are the drawbacks of RSS?
The disadvantages of RSS use are brought about by its being a new technology and some user-preference concerns.
1.Some users prefer receiving email updates over an RSS feed.
2.Graphics and photos do not appear in all RSS feeds.
For conciseness and ease of publication, RSS feeds do not display the photos from the original site in announcing the update except for some web-based aggregators
3.The identity of the source website can be confusing.
Since RSS feeds do not display the actual URL or name of the website, it can sometimes get confusing on what feed a user is actually reading.
4.Publishers cannot determine how many users are subscribed to their feed and the frequency of their visits. Moreover, they would not know the reasons why users unsubscribe which could be important in improving their advertising.
5.RSS feeds create higher traffic and demands on the server.
Most readers still prefer the whole update over a brief summary of the entry, thus they still access the site.
6.Since it is a new technology, many sites still do not support RSS.
How do I start using RSS?
There are two things needed: an RSS feed and an RSS aggregator or reader. The RSS feed comes from an RSS-supported website. There are also websites that provide a list of RSS feeds of different websites. An RSS aggregator is used to read the RSS feed from the source website. It scans and collects data on latest RSS feeds from the worldwide web.
An aggregator comes in two forms: a downloadable program also known as desktop aggregator and an online or web-based aggregator. Downloadable aggregators may require payment before they can be acquired, while internet-based aggregators are usually free of charge. All you need to do is to register an account then you are ready to use their services. Both versions allow you to customize or choose which RSS feeds to enter. Paid aggregators are usually chosen by more experienced users and they usually allow more freedom in customizing feeds.
1.Choose an RSS aggregator to use. For beginners, web-based aggregators are recommended since they are usually user-friendly
2.Scan the homepage of your target website for the RSS or XML button. It contains the RSS code you need to enter in the aggregator. Copy this code. Syndic8 provides a directory of websites that support RSS.
3.Paste the code (which contains the URL of the website) in your aggregator. There is a space provided for pasting the code.
After you have done these three easy steps, you can start reading the RSS feeds coming from the website. New postings appear as they are published real time at the source website.
RSS and Internet Marketing
The original idea of RSS came from Netscape, where their intention is to provide a means for users to customize their personal homepage to contain links to websites that interest them, similar to bookmarking websites.
The application of RSS to internet marketing was an unforeseen development to RSS technology developers. Since users are given the freedom to add RSS feeds to their aggregators, those who are interested in particular products and services available in the internet can now be notified real time. Marketing becomes more specific to interested people and not a hit-and-miss operation.
Those who intend to use RSS for marketing their products and services should consider linking up with email account providers, (e.g. Yahoo, MSN, Google mail); networking websites (e.g. Friendster, Multiply, My Space, Hi5); websites of newspapers and television network websites (e.g. New York Times, CNN) for medium to big-scale companies. Small-time industries can also look into networking websites as well as personal blog websites (e.g. Blogspot) and websites of clubs and organizations that would probably make use of their products or services e.g. a fishing supplies store can look for the website of their local fishing club for possible RSS marketing.
Clearly, RSS is an innovation in information management in the worldwide web as well as online marketing. We can expect better RSS technology in the not-so-distant future as its popularity increases among users and website owners alike.

Phpbb and Rss?
I don't think PHPBB supports it..
There's loads of sites and programs that do, though.
Type in "RSS Reader" in Yahoo! Search, you'll be surprised what you find if you look for it.

How can i use RSS to display posts on my static html pages?
I am very new to RSS. I was under the impression that I can use RSS to display blog posts, news articles etc... on a static HTML page. How do i do that? I use the google reader for my RSS. Will that help or do i need something else? I want to customize the posts/news that will be shown on the static HTML page ( for example if it is possible to set the font color and size )
How can i do that?
How can i use RSS to display posts on my static html pages?
It sounds like you want to display an RSS feed within your HTML website. The easiest/best way to do this is to use RSS2HTML a free PHP script. This means that you can retain the complete control of the HTML layout (using templates) and make it match your existing design. Additionally using PHP rather than JavaScript will mean that search engine spiders can "spider" the contents of the RSS feeds.
Additional details and a free rss2html download is available at: http://www.feedforall.com/more-php.htm
Additional information and other options for displaying RSS feeds can be found at: http://www.rss-specifications.com/displa...
Goodluck!
Reply:You have three basic options.
(1) Have something running that downloads the RSS, generates some HTML from it, then stores it on the server. You end up with a static page.
(2) Have something running on the server that generates HTML on demand. This is a dynamic page, so doesn't suit your needs.
(3) Use something like http://pipes.yahoo.com/ to convert the RSS feed to JSON, then process that with client side JavaScript. There is nothing dynamic on the server, but there is client side code.
Google Reader will not help.

How to receive rss feeds older than subscription date ?
Hi!
First I am just a newbie with rss technology but good on pc.
I am using a desktop rss reader software called Feedreader to read my subscribed feeds even I am offline (I like this).
Sometimes I find excellent blog sites about my interests and add them to my faves easily. Once I have added a blog site my reader (as others do) only receives recent entries from the resource site.
If possible I wish to be able to choose or receive older feeds (for archieving and easy browsing purposes) into my reader from these blog sites not only recent ones.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
How to receive rss feeds older than subscription date ?
It isn't possible. the data simply isn't there. The point of RSS feeds (at least as far as most site authors are concerned) is to let people know when there is updated content, not to let them view the entire site without visiting it. Consequently, the feeds only include recent entries.
Reply:You'd have to talk to that sites Administrator. RSS feeds are done using XML that has the information. If they constantly replace their XML documents without archiving them, then even they can't give you the information.

Why don't I see the new RSS feed I added in the All RSS Feeds section of Yahoo! Mail Beta?
After using the Add function in the All RSS Feeds section of Yahoo! Mail Beta and getting a confirmation that a feed has been added, the list of RSS Feeds in Yahoo! Mail Beta does not change. I can see the newly added feeds on My Yahoo page, but what is going on with the All RSS Feeds section?
Why don't I see the new RSS feed I added in the All RSS Feeds section of Yahoo! Mail Beta?
I am getting the same problem as you. Have been using the RSS feeds within Yahoo mail beta for sometime now but this is the first time i am getting this problem. No luck yet with someone addressing this issue, so sit tight. Am sure help is on the way.
