RSS feeds now available

  • Comment
More articles
RSS feeds are now available on TESSource for the current day's uploaded files and the current day's updated mods. People with RSS programs should been able to add these feeds no problem.

For people who do not know what RSS is I believe the Google techie said it best when he said "when you want to check your email you don't contact Bill, Jenny or Ben to ask them; it's all centralised in your email inbox". RSS is basically a way to consolidate the resources you access regularly in one place so you don't need to go to each individual site for updates. I'm not really an RSS user myself but I can understand why you would want to have such a functionality from TESSource and hopefully this delivers.

If you use this service please let me know; would be nice to know if it comes in handy!

    I'm glad you took my suggestion seriously this time, Dark0ne - this makes it SO much easier to check mod updates and new releases WITHOUT having to hunt them down all the time <img class="> . Anyway, I'll have to add to what JosefK mentioned:

    -Opera (since v.7) already had an RSS feed reader built in, although I've never used it since at the time I was unfamiliar with RSS.
    -Firefox (as of 1.5 and later) has a RSS feed reader, as well as Mozilla's email suite, Thunderbird.
    -If you're a Mac-user *cough* computer Macers *cough*, then Safari also has it's own RSS reader.
    -Windows Internet Explorer 7 (commonly known as IE7) can read certain RSS feeds (I can't tell you which ones it can't, simply because I don't know <img class="> ). IE7's RSS reader is very simplfied - all one needs to do is open up the feed, click the Subscribe to this feed link, and add it to your list feeds, like a bookmark. (I prefer this one over all the others, as it keeps my feeds ordered, AND it's easy to use <img class="> )

    There are countless other feed readers too, whether they're added on like a plugin or browser extension, stand-alone readers, or online as JosefK mentioned. Anyway, if you still have doubts about RSS, you'll soon have them cast away, cuz I'm tellin' you RSS makes life SO MUCH easier <img class="> .

    This makes me think of an idea that the users could subscribe to posts of weekly updated mods. The posts might be sent via e-mails or messages on TES Source or blah blah. I think some users may not want to know all recently updated mods but some mods they are interested in. Maybe they are waiting for the fixes for the mods they are using. So it may be useful to be able to select the mods to subscribe to.

    TKS a lot
    I'll use it for sure ^_^

    hint:
    opera has a build-in rss reader (manage rss feed like mails)
    firefox has some good extension for it (sage and Wizz above all)
    there're also online feedreader (like google reader)

    as stand-alone program:
    if you're a linux user I suggest akregator (under QT) or liferea (under gtk)
    if you're a windows user I suggest feedreader
