Being geeky has its benefits. I just discovered today that my friend Danny Wallace has a new website design.
I had a look at it. Hmm, that looks nice. I wonder if it has an RSS feed? … no link. That looks like … I wonder if it is running off a PostNuke CMS. I hit “View Source” on my special geeky, web developer toolbar in Firefox. I found the magic line:
<meta name="generator" content="PostNuke - http://www.postnuke.com">
Now, I happen to know that if you add /backend.php
to a PostNuke domain name you get the RSS feed. I did, and I did.
So, if you want the RSS feed for Danny Wallace’s new website it is:
feed:http://www.dannywallace.com/backend.php
Geek lesson over for today.
A very useful geek-tip – thanks! I’ll remember that…
