News Pluggin-Help!

[Erudite]

Where do you get the RSS feed address fer news sites like cnn.com, nytimes.com and others...
-Thanks

[lazybones]

not all sites have them.. Ususaly a search at www.google.com will turn up something..

And some are not available to the public... HardOCP.com has one but its only accessable by other websites via a PHP script... :(

Just a note.. if the RSS file does not display in your browser it will not likely work with the trillian plugin.

the CNN one does not seem to be public, just like the HardOCP.com ....

Lots of sites don't like haveing them public because they charge other sites for them or they get too much traffic from all the timed downloads.

Here is my rss.ini file containing feeds from the BBC, CNN, CERT, Sophos and Symantec. Please be forwarned that there are 23 feeds in the .ini file. It has been stripped of all the recent feeds, so it will want to refresh upon loading Trillian. (Just a warning for anybody on dial-up.)

Just unzip the file into trillian/users/username directory.

IT WILL REPLACE ANY CURRENT FEEDS YOU HAVE!

If you want to keep your current feeds, just grab the info out of the .ini file that you want.

ENJOY!

Are there any variables in the rss.ini file that can be changed to alter the frequency of updaing the feeds?

Anyone know of interesting tweaks for this file... ie: define a default app other than your browser to retrieve the stories??

Here is a search engine to look for RSS feeds.
