Dear Feed On Feeds: I love you.
Monday, March 7th, 2005If you
- Have a web server with MySQL and PHP
- Read sites that have RSS feeds on a semi-regular basis
- Ever use different computers, or can't find a desktop aggregator you like…
do yourself a favor and install Feed On Feeds.
The only notes I have:
Do use the auto-subscribe bookmarklet.
Don't forget to set up a cron job to update the feeds.
Don't forget to htpasswd protect the directory — every link you click will have your FoF install as the Referrer URL.
I think the thing I like best about having an aggregator is that I can happily subscribe to infrequently updating sites cough cough like this one and I just get to see all the updates when they hit my browser. Subscribing to a weblog no longer means having to troll it (in)frequently for updates that might not be coming.
