A number of months ago I made our headlines available as an RSS channel; this is a follow-up to that. If you are interested in having TheOneRing.net’s headlines on your site or portal, you can find the RSS source for our headlines at http://www.theonering.net/cgi-bin/lotr2rdf.cgi.

Now the last time I posted this, a number of people said, “Ok now what do I do with that?” At the time, I pointed them to a number of different packages which dealt with RSS channels and left it at that. Since that time I have written and modified a couple of short scripts which makes use of our RSS information. If you are interested in being able to put our headlines on your site, or want our headlines in your WindowMaker menus, drop me an email at corvar@theonering.net and I will give you a hand.
