New Wetpaint Feature


Wetpaint jsut added a new feature - You can now have a NEWS page - which can pull in up to 5 rss feeds.

( nobody said those couldn't be yours :) - think squidoo lens - hubpage - zimbio etc. )

Click on the ' news' tab on top and you'll be presented with an option to add an rss feed






you can choose between specifuing your own feed or have wetpaint find you keyword related feeds - or a combination of both

Day 10- Final Thoughts

Alright - First off let me try to be funny - I don't care to take another screen shot for a long time :)

Just kidding - after 10 days I am surprised how much I learned about myself, they way I used to look at certain tasks, what is considered possible.

It became more of a personal challenge; how much can I get done; how far can I push myself?


Anyway, I think I mentioned it before here, but what started out as a competition has evolved to a cool little community of like minded individuals. For that I would like to thank everybody. I can only hope after this is over some of us will stay in touch.

Final note on this journal. In the beginning I never put any big consideration how to organize everything. And I am afraid it shows :(

The first 5 or 6 modules in the sidebar are hopefully organized in a somewhat logical way. When it comes to the rss feeds etc. - that's another story - I stopped posting those here a long long time ago. ( just too many )

If someone has any questions on anything - I'll keep on monitoring http://twitter.com/beachweddingz

Also anything I did here is just what I think was right. Doesn't mean I am or was :)

Again Thanks to everybody - truly was an enjoyable experience

I have no idea !?!

Day 10 - Rss feeds to Feedagg - tip


submitted rss feeds of the sites to feedagg.

on the submit screen it's asking you moang other things to put in the keyword tags. Annoying this is : it uses a different syntax than most site ( i.e 2 word keywords have the combined like word1-word2 ; and kw' have to separated by space instead of commas.

you can around that by just putting in one keyword ( kw1 ) and hot submit.

When you click on the generated feed link you will be taken to this page.

After clicking on the add button; feedagg will actually suggest tags from you content. I normally select a lot of them :)

You still have the option to add you own. Probelm solved - right syntax - without the hassle of typing them in.

Day Submitting rss feeds to Feedage - little tip


submitted new sites from today and yesterday to feedage.

A while back I figured out that they actually have a bulk upload feature






another thing - since all the rss feeds are submitted to multiple places - and those directories scrape each other - 2 of the feeds were already present. Cool
