Good idea, i had much the same idea when i first saw they were testing RSS. I think they are limiting the amount of feeds until they can establish who it might affect their system.

I reckon an RSS feed reader would be very useful, the trouble is that I know absolutely nothing about them. 
So, can anybody recommend a good but free RSS feed reader that works with Windows 2000 and XP that is easy to use and even easier to install? 
Regards,

Hi
I am using Feedreader which you can download for free. The web site is:-
http://www.feedreader.com/.
It is easy to set up and use. If you also get a link into pricedash.com you can get all sorts of discount vouchers for shopping.
Enjoy

The "trick" might be to open the bookmarks manager and go to File > New Live Bookmark - because your URL doesn't have the RDF extension, it may not recognise it as an RSS feed at first - or possibly the page is not sending the correct MIME type for the file.

So how do you setup a link with it to this site. All I'm getting is site found but internet address you supplied does not contain feed subscription information.

For the pocket pc i use PocketRSS which works great and costs only $5.95 from Handango. It syncs using a wifi connection or any other internet connection.
or for free you can use RSS Sync which is an active sync plug in from

I would be interested to know how the RSS feeds were created? Is there some software you use to automatically create them?

The RSS feeds are a plug-in for the phpbb forums. I modified the forum code to automatically generate the feed setup for each forum.

Hi, I am using "Active Web Reader" to read the RSS feeds, it is easy to use and install, and it is a free programme.

I use google mail and one feature is too customise your google home page and you can add RSS feeds. This is a free service and updates me everytime I load google.
Thanks for RSS

| You will need RSS reader software installed on the PC or PPC and use the orange buttons on the main site forum index to find the feed codes, I only use it on the Exec via an application called News Break - it works a treat - Mike |
