Hi forum,

I'm searching for RSS reader, specialities:

- access only Wordpress
- the Wordpress installation is within the same company
- reader with no costs

Could you reccomend some stable "products" ?

Thanks in advance,

Michel
 
I would recommend Firefox as an excellent RSS Reader. I've used IE7 and IE8 RSS Readers, but I think the Firefox one is nicer.

I don't know how you can limit it to only Wordpress (and further, Wordpress within your own company), but I would assume you would only subscribe to RSS Feeds that you wanted to follow... so this is probably not a big deal.

Finally, all three RSS Readers I have mentioned are free (although you do have to pay to get some kind of Windows to run IE7 or IE8... so strictly speaking Firefox would be a better fit).

Hope that helps!
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

A quick follow-up on this... I would consider using Google Reader as well. This is browser agnostic - so you could use whatever you liked.

Cheers!

I use outlook 2007 at work - it integrates nicely as a folder on the side underneath my "inbox"

At home, it's google reader - the first page to load when my browser opens.

GOOGLE is a great resource to find answers to questions like "how do i..."

If you don't know exaclty what you want to do or what to search on, try Google Suggest: --------

it does raise the question: if the feed is produced within the company, and you only want this feed read, why do you need RSS and a reader? just produce a report that users can view with the relevant information.

1. you cannot use the reader to filter only wordpress feeds. RSS is just a format. how/who produces the feed is irrelevant.
2. if you only want the reader to read from this feed use your firewall proxy to control this.
3. again RSS is just a formatting standard. you could build your own feed reader using XSLT to transform the xml into human presentable output. a simple webpage that transfroms the feed into html would work. pull up the page and read through the events.

I beg your pardon, teh description was mot clear enough.

Actually we want read the feeds within the html page (e.g. javascrip) and display the preapred / filtered content in the browser window.

Wordpress within the same company. Changes on the wordpress side is not welcome, but ev. possible. This a company with over 25.000 users. There is only teh 4 standard Wordpress rss.

I hope this helps.

Warm regards,

Michel
 
Jeff,

as I described we need READ the RSS feed and not to FEED. Anyway thanks for your effort.

Michel.
