Maybe for all who loves this community could syndicate the DevShed Articles and try to get even more members here. Maybe we can get Randy or Zeus to post a syndication feed for the forums.

Maybe even do up the xml feed for a klip on the very popular Klipfolio. There are a few popular sites that are doing this; Slashdot is one...

Well, I just put together a Klip for this site, the screen shot is below. I still need to do the help file which I will do this evening. Once it is complete I can post it on the Klip Site for people to download (with Randy and (or) Zeus's permission).

If they can provide a feed for the forums, I could do a seperate Klip for each forum - which I think would be cool as I could see the forum topics at a glance without having to come here in the browser every ten minutes of the day....


Anyways, here's the klip screenshot

EDIT:::
Plug it to alert me when HELP!, or I NEED HELP! is posted as a thread topic...

erm, jpenn... do you see those square flashy things on the top? They are called banners... difficult concept, but basically they are used to partially pay for this forum I'm not sure how many of those we'll have if everyone will be using klip.

Yes - they still must come to the site tho to read the articles/posts. That thing would just be something to entice more users to come here (and meybe get some people that don't know about us) as we can get this thing listed on the KlipFarm site. Once the link is clicked, it brings them right to the article, or to wherever the link points to. I think SlashDot has like 13,000 plus downloads so far on their Klip....

EDIT:::
Speaking of banners, I think I should change my signature as the blinking is getting quite annoying....

One other nitpick:

Why does the banner that links to devshed.com say www.devshed.com?

Sorry... slow evening

Or mebbe Austrian flapping against the sky.

Poor fellow... he tries to do something productive and helpful, and look what happens!

Ah.. I guess to be serious for a moment, even if it is Windoze only (and non-OSS), it's a good idea to bring in some fresh blood. We're a good community, but I think maybe we are a bit stale...
