I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down the road!AlexMs last blog post.."Inappropriate billionaire" made the "Google" office paradise

Ive been using this method since mark first made this mod. There were difficulties adding php feeds and Mark was nice enough to take the time to write it and give to the community,
PHP is the only feed that the SEs can read as fresh content from what I understand. So this is a huge help.
Thanks for writing another set of very clear instructions Rochell !!!

There is no problem with using RSS and copyright infractions if you don’t pass the content of as your own, if that was the case a lot a people would get sued, and yes it also goes for if you use the feeds in some kind of commercial way.

So no worries this is not scraping.

I’m afraid I’m going to show my ignorance but what is the definition of content scraping? I thought it was stealing someone else’s work and passing it off as your own. This mod is giving headlines, who wrote it (if available), a sentence or two of the story, and a link to the original story. Please help clarify.

You might want to include a disclaimer that technically this is scraping content and the originators of that content may not approve of such activities since it isn’t for personal use.

Step one says to click the RSS button on the URL of the feed you want but this may not always be correct. I followed these instructions and got my RSS feed from Google News. In this case clicking the RSS icon on the URL bar brought me to an atom feed, not an RSS feed. I should have scrolled down and clicked the ‘RSS’ link on the left sidebar.

So, check the URL you are using to see if it says RSS or ATOM. If it is ATOM then you need to go back and get the RSS subscription link and verify that it says RSS at the end. (It may or may not be in capitals.)

Some RSS URLs have the ‘RSS’ or ‘ATOM’ at the end of the URL but not all. Some have it mixed in the middle.
