Pulling RSS together with XSLT Transformations

By James Forrest - Posted on 14 April 2008

During David Greenfield's presentation he talked about wanting to pull all of his feeds into one place - great idea! This has been a mission of mine and although I don't have a finished example - more to do with my lack of time than its complexity - I can share a few URL's that could help others. Bear in mind that I accomplished this relatively quickly using Dreamweaver™
The first is my band site (Machine 475) which tests the concept of pulling a Blogger feed (lower right column) into a branded site while also using the posts "a" tags to pull a user into another page within the site to get more info. This is an example of one feed but it really has no limits. Think iGoogle homepage.

The second is an article from Adobe's site on consuming RSS feeds using Dreamweaver.

I hope this helps and would love to hear how others are approaching this challenge.
Cheers,
