Consider subscribing to my blog's RSS feed. It's sticky
In another installment of what I might call “Fun with RSS,” I’ve created a video that will show you how to automatically post any content you want to your web site or blog using bookmarking.
This is a great little trick for creating “In the News” pages or for scraping company or industry mentions to re-purpose to a web site. I use it to post news mentions I get and mentions of my book from around the Internet, but you could easily use this technique to create custom content pages for search purposes or even create highly personalized newspapers for customers and prospects. Once you get this set up anyone surfing the web for you can build these highly personalized pages.
The video shows you ways to find the content you are looking for and then use a bookmarking service called delicious to tag the content and create an RSS feed that you then take to a service called Feedburner to create the code to easily publish the content to your site. Once you do this you can add content by simply bookmarking it on delicious using the tag that corresponds to the content and it will get posted automatically to your site.
- For this little video I used:
- Firefox
- Firefox delicious add-on
- Google News
- delicious
- Feedburner

Hi John
Thanks for this great piece of advice. I am not a great fan of automated content scraping, but this technique is great to publish the fruits of many hours of content searching. Google have a page showing how to customize the output here:Customizing BuzzBoost’s Appearance. Thanks again.
