New: RSS Feeds

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Being bloggers and/or readers of blogs, we all love RSS feeds.  Not only do they give us a great way to keep track of what’s going on a website, but it also makes it easy for people to share content across them as well.  That is why in the latest release of Skribit we rolled out a set of RSS feeds for everyone to use.  So if you don’t want to receive an email every time you get a suggestion, you can disable those notifications and instead subscribe to your suggestions feed with your favorite feed reader.

So where can you find the links for these RSS feeds?  They’re available on a User’s public profile page:

And also, on a Blog’s profile page:
 

(Notice that you can also now make suggestions from a Blog’s profile page on Skribit itself)

Another cool thing about having RSS feeds is you can use it to show suggestions on your blog if for some reason you cannot use the widget.  For example, I just moved my blog from a self-hosted WordPress blog to one hosted on WordPress.com.  Unfortunately, we currently don’t have our widget available WP.com, but I was able to use the RSS Sidebar Widget to show my Skribit Suggestions:
 

Here’s something else you can do:  From the Manage Suggestions page, you’ll now find the RSS feed for your posted suggestions.  Combine this with the RSS sidebar widget, and now you can show your recently posted suggestions on your Blog.
