RSS News Ends Support for IE6

Newsman — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 16:26:46 +0000

Starting on the 1st of July 2008, I have decided to end support for IE6. In order to continue using RSS News, users are advised to upgrade their browser to one of the following:

Internet Explorer 6 is the last generation of useable browsers. A lot of developers (and I do mean a lot!) have been quite frustrated with the way IE6 renders CSS, Javascript, and (x)HTML, including myself. Modern browsers provide a better functionality and online experience.

RSS News is also a proud supporter of SaveTheDevelopers.org

The following is an excerpt of the current campaign:

Say No To IE 6!

Our current campaign focuses on assisting users in upgrading their Internet Explorer 6 web browser. This campaign will result in former IE 6 users having a more enjoyable experience on the web while (hopefully) creating a less stressful and complicated environment for web developers by hastening the retirement of an outdated browser.

So, for you who still stick to IE6, it’s time to get an upgrade of your browser. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

More Updates v2

Newsman — Thu, 01 May 2008 13:57:05 +0000

Yes, another update. This time I have added three more sections to make up more content on the site. Here is the summary:

Home: Contains the landing page of RSS News. The content of the site is more geared towards Web2.0-flavoured news.
National: This page mainly contains Australian news and current affairs. Also included in this page are podcasts from some metropolitan radio stations in Aussie.
Politics: Consists of latest updates on world news and political events around the globe.
Business: You can expect news of business, economics, oil, stock market, finance, and anything with money flavor.
Technology: Everything is covered here, including internet, computer, software, hardware, electronic, gadgets, video games. Suitable for tech-geeks.
Science: It is geared towards articles about environment, NASA, space, computer science, robotic science, engineering, quantum physics, you name it….
Entertainment: You can read latest Hollywood gossips, music updates, or movies reviews. So if you’re looking for Britney’s next action, Paris Hilton’s new buddies, or who is pregnant in Hollywood, this is a good place to start.
Lifestyle: The content of this page is rather general since it includes topics like travelling, food, education, art, fashion, and life productivity.
Health: Anything about diseases, medicines, cancer cure, hygiene, are all in this page.
Blogs: A collection of hand-picked top personal blogs on the internet. Let me know if you find something to add here.

If you find anything missing that I should add, feel free to leave your comment and let me know.

More Updates

After nearly two months of inactivity, I am now back to update the site with more contents. The site is nearly complete after I finished with Business, Technology, Science, Entertainment, and Health sections.

The next major page will be the Blogs section where news from various major blog sites around the net will be featured here.

Updated National News Page

Newsman — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 15:53:54 +0000

Finally, I managed to populate National section page viagra relevant content in it. Basically, this page mainly contains Australian news, current affairs, and some local or state news. Most of the news sources are taken from Australian leading media provider, like Fairfax Digital and News Digital Media (a News Corp company). Some of the news headlines are directly related to a certain state. For example:

Adelaide Now (Adelaide, SA)
The Australian (Sydney, NSW)
Courier Mail (Brisbane, QLD)
Daily Telegraph (Sydney, NSW and Canberra, ACT)
Herald Sun (Melbourne, VIC)
The Mercury (Hobart, TAS)
Perth Now (Perth, WA)

Unfortunately, there is no major news photo site for Australia content. I found Yahoo! News Australia with the Photo section in it without any RSS link to the images.

Welcome to RSS Journal

After weeks of hard work, RSS News is finally running. So what is this site all about? It is a news aggregator where it pulls various news feeds from different sources across the web and displays it in one place. The content can be interesting blogs, world affairs, web buzz, unknown facts, useful tips, funny pictures, weird videos, humorous podcast, you name it! Most importantly, they are all fresh contents, so whenever you view our site, we always present you with new material for you to digest.

The whole idea comes from the masterpiece site, popurls.com. All credit should go to the author, Thomas Marban, who invented this great website.

Our site is currently still far from complete, however the core components have been finished. Feel free to leave any idea or comments via this blog. We love delivering fresh news to your computer, so stick with us for any new development.
