RSS Feed for Zelda Universe???

Hey, does ZU have an RSS feed? I've been looking for it for quite a while, but i dont see a link anywhere.... I want to add ZU to my live.com homepage. Anyone got any info on this? or know who I can talk to about this? any help greatly appreciated.

What's an RSS feed?

What is RSS?
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other Web content. Think of it as a distributable "What's New" for your site. Originated by UserLand in 1997 and subsequently used by Netscape to fill channels for Netcenter, RSS has evolved into a popular means of sharing content between sites (including the BBC, CNET, CNN, Disney, Forbes, Motley Fool, Wired, Red Herring, Salon, Slashdot, ZDNet, and more). RSS solves myriad problems webmasters commonly face, such as increasing traffic, and gathering and distributing news. RSS can also be the basis for additional content distribution services.

In English, RSS feeds provide you with a quick source to view the latest news of a site without actually visiting it.

thanks, e_alert. i thought, didnt kno how to explain it. lol. what do you think?

I think it'd be a great idea. I rarely ever visit the actual main site of ZU, so it'd be nice to know when something new has been added.

and who can I/we talk to about this? would the owners of ZU actually listen to us? or reply?

Give it time, and someone with authority should put forward their views in this thread. If you want to speak with some regulars directly, a good place to start is the ZU webchat:

http://www.zeldauniverse.net/webchat.html You'll have to type /server irc.gnug.org before it'll join the actual chat. If you have an IRC client of your own, the channel is #zelda -- the server obviously being irc.gnug.org.

I know this is off-topic, but how do you use RSS, I've always wondered how to.
But I do know what it does, and it's a good idea.

I don't see the point. We write our own news here at Zelda Universe and a news feed isn't necessary. There isn't that much news on Zelda, even when things are going on.

Well I think that's the problem... We rarely get news, it would really help us people that don't have a lot of free time to just browse the web. I mean, come on... It would be a great thing to ad to ZU. And a lot of sites have RSS nowadays. Even I have RSS on my own site which I just started: www.topsecretkustomz.com. And I use RSS for getting information as soon as I get on my live.com homepage. It's nice to get to your homepage and have everything you need already set up for you in one page. Without having to navigate to each site to read their news or updates. Its not that hard to use anyways, I personally use FeedForAll, since I just started the site and I'm the only administrator. I'm only asking that you take this into consideration and discuss it with the rest of the 'big' people. I love ZU and i think that would be a great step that it can take. I bet a lot of people think the same thing.

For those of you that dont know what an RSS feed is, I'll SHOW you an example, its easier seen than read. lol.
