Is this possible?

Is it possible to have feeds on your site that targets just one single theme? For example, showing feeds that just talk about "blue shoes"?

 

Sure .. What CMS are you using ?

 

you mean like this ?

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=blue+shoes&ie=UTF-8&output=atom

dang urls not working just goto google news search for what you want and look at the xml

 

lol, that was going to be my next question... how would I do it

 

I think yeah that's what he's talking about ..

Shoot the URL man ..

 

well... there is a module for wordpress called feedpress basically it checks a feed for news and if there is new news it posts it automatically.

Many splogs are setup for that. There used to be a verison of wordpress around called spampress that had all this setup automatically where you just entered keywords and it posted from various news services.

Really to be effective you need to have some sort of language parser so douplicate content is not detected. I guess it just depends on what you want it for.

 

Want to have some sort of "news" section on my homepage with feeds about some theme. Not a blog, an htm page on a website

 

Tons of cool free html to rss scripts Fry (no programming skill nedeed):

Checkout something call reblogger and I think Mambo also has an component that does the samething for free.

 

This is a very handy script by yfs.. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=7354, easy and works great

 

Fryman, a good idea will be to use XHTML to style the XML feed which you are trying to display on your site. You can then add it to any htm page, and style it according to your site design and layout.

An example we've used on one of our site is here

http://www.dublinevents.com/pakistan-earth-quake-appeal/

The right colum shows feed directly coming from Yahoo News XML feed for the KW you enter. (In this case, the KW is pakistan_quake)

 

Thanks, but after some analisis I guess it would be better to use some kind of blog for this. I'll go with wordpress and have a nice template designed.

Any suggestions on what to use for this type of blog? Or does it have something already integrated? Never really used a blog before

 

You just add /feed/ to any category url .. and you have the rss of that particular category, for example
