a community for rpg bloggers, podcasters, vidcasters, and their audiences

The elephant in the room

For now, there is a tab that links to the RPG Bloggers Network, because I support those lads.

If anyone has simple basic ideas for adding a feed aggregator, PM me and I'll listen.

I have no clue what's up.

Do I want to know?; ▶ Reply to This

It does appear it will survive, and that's what matters.; ▶ Reply to This

You don't have to worry about caching (pipes takes care of that). Not as snazzy as RPGN was but will allow an RSS of all the blogs. Free and easy to set up (or play with).

I want something that won't require a lot of maintainance; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Mark Thomas on October 25, 2009 at 8:02pm: I'd second this. Planet looks like a very good tool for doing aggregation. I think an entirely open setup like Alex has set up is susceptible to abuse, but it looks like something that could be easily managed with minimal fuss and resources.; ▶ Reply to This

I think Yahoo Pipes is your best solution, though. Chyrp is more of a WordPress replacement.; ▶ Reply to This
