New and Improved Site RSS Feed!
 CleanMPG RSS Feed Updates.
Kacey Green CleanMPG Mar. 22, 2009
CleanMPG has been running an RSS Feed for as long as I can remember, but a few weeks ago we added some convenient new features. First I should explain what an RSS Feed is, RSS feeds are a special kind of XML web page file, they can help you keep up-to-date on all your favorite web pages. Our feeds new features include email updates and compatibility with any standards based RSS Feed Reader software.
Our feed, like the site itself is supported by Google ads. The feed is a full feed, that means we dont make a short intro blurb forcing you to leave your feed reader to read a complete article.
The RSS Feed will be a great solution for our readers who are unable to view the full site, like when travelling or at work and school, there are RSS feed reader software for all major desktop and server operating systems and most smartphones, my personal preference is Google reader ( http://reader.google.com)
Our RSS Feed does not currently support commenting from the feed viewer. Our current Front Page program has limitations on the way we present the first image in an article, so the first image will show as raw code, the remaining images in any article or news item will display normally, if your reader supports it you can also view videos and more directly from the feed.
Another nice benefit of our new smart feed is that if you have your reader set to show all unread items and go on vacation, all the news items in your absence will be available, not just the most recent 10 or 15 postings.
Without further adieu, here is the URL for our new and improved RSS Feed: CleanMPG RSS Feed.

Re: New and Improved Site RSS Feed!
And a pat on the back for the many updates. I particularly like the increase in C-MPGs front-page articles (so I can see the pics to know if I've read that article), and I also appreciate the improvement on the number of no-registration-required third pages (so I don't have to register on a whole bunch of sites, just to read the full article).
Well done gang. Too few people take the time or the effort to express appreciation of a job that is clean, professional, and reliable. You've really set a high standard.

Re: New and Improved Site RSS Feed!
Way to go with the new feed! I agree with chibougamoo, this site does set a high standard. The recent additions that I have seen here are all very nice.

Re: New and Improved Site RSS Feed!

The pictures and movie insertion method was fixed and they now display properly.
