Saint Cloud Times Local News Syndication (RSS)

Well, I have tested by Saint Cloud Times RSS Feed for a while now, so I will put it out for other people to use. Feel free to subscribe to this feed (in Sharpreader of your favorite RSS Aggregator). It should update every day at 5:00 AM. Right now it just gets the headlines. If anyone want to send any feedback my way, feel free to. Maybe if someone wants to get the whole article I can add that functionality, or the Sports or other news sections. Just let me know. 🙂

Saint Cloud Times RSS Feed

Well, the other day, I wrote into the St. Cloud Times and asked them if they had RSS feeds for the news headlines. I got a reply that pretty much said “what do you want them for?” “go to hell”, so I did a little thinking, and just created a program to scrape the headlines and put them into a rss formatted XML file, so I can read them with my aggregator. I have it done, and I am testing it now, works like a champ. I will probably test it some more, then maybe put it up so other people can use it. 🙂
