I’m always on the lookout for ways in which I can be more productive and increase my creative outputs. Once you’ve located that page, simply go through the same steps as above, but use this Yahoo! Pipe instead. If, however, you want to create an RSS feed from updates made to the site as a whole, you need first of all to locate the ‘Recent site activity’ link at the bottom of your website: …and add it to your Google Sites-powered website, along with the web-standard RSS feed icon! You can now take the URL of the RSS feed that’s just been created: You should see something like the screenshot below, although it may look slightly different if you use a web browser other than Firefox – and will, of course, depend on your websites’ content: Now all that’s left to do is to discover what your RSS feed URL is by clicking on the orange RSS icon: Once you’ve done this click the ‘Run Pipe’ button and you should see something like the screenshot below (although obviously yours will reflect the contents of your ‘announcements’ page!): …and then head over to this Yahoo! Pipe and paste the URL you just copied from your announcements page into the box: You need to highlight and copy the URL of your announcements page: You are given an option to create this kind of page when you click ‘Create New Page’. If want to create an RSS feed for a blog-like announcements page, you’re looking for a page similar to the one below. Throughout the following I’m going to be using my Google Sites-powered .uk as an example. I’ve configured it on my .uk domain and it makes life very easy.
If you’re an educator, you might want to try Google Sites as part of Google Apps Education Edition.
No RSS feeds! This post shows you how you can generate an RSS feed from either an ‘announcements’ or ‘recent changes’ page quickly and easily. BUT it’s got one very, very major drawback. Not only can anyone and everyone sign up to make a wikified website, but it’s really easy to use and very configurable.
