Norwich University may be small, but we do have RSS feeds!

I even set one of my colleagues up with Bloglines yesterday! Score!

I love you blog and homepage. I have been refering people to them for some time now (especially your sceencasts of RSS, Blogs, etc.).

I am curious. How did you create these RSS events at your college? Did you make them manually (writing web scripts?) or is your news and events site a blog or something similar? I am just curious as I will probably be doing something similar in the coming months.

Hey Mike, I didn’t actually create them. They were created by the IT folks at the University. It’s definitely something I’ve been interested in tinkering with and have never found the time for, so if you create some RSS feeds, be sure to let me know how you did it! 🙂
