1. Here's a little secret...

DU has RSS feeds -- although I can't guarantee they still work properly. They used to be public a long time ago, but the tech seemed to have fallen out of favor by the time we launched DU4 so we didn't include them. However, the links to the feeds are still there, and in theory they should work.

Latest: https://democraticunderground.com/?com=rss&forum=latest

Greatest: https://democraticunderground.com/?com=rss&forum=greatest

And for any forum, you can use a URL with this syntax:

https://democraticunderground.com/?com=rss&forum=forumid

...where forumid is the ID number of the forum. For example, 1002 for GD, 1014 for LBN, etc. You can find the forum ID by going to any forum and looking for the four-digit number at the end of the URL.

Although as I said, I can't guarantee that these still work properly...

Thanks, EarlG - these are useful. I must admit I bring up DU first thing in the day, before looking at my RSS feeds. erronis Saturday #2
