Google News gets RSS

August 9th, 2005 | by Tim Wilson |

Google is now officially supporting RSS feeds for its news service. Besides feeds for their news categories, you can generate a custom feed for any Google News search. This was possible before, but my understanding is that it was a 3rd party solution and not officially supported. It’s nice, if not a bit late, to see Google embrace this. I’ll continue to use Technorati to track what the blogosphere has to say about particular topics, but this will be a handy way to follow the same stories from the traditional press viewpoint. And you can be pretty specific. I could, for example, subscribe to a feed of New York Times articles that mention renewable energy (RSS). Any search you can construct with their advanced search can generate a feed. What teacher couldn’t find a use for this?

    Problem with RSS Feed in WordPress.
    I have a subdomain that I installed wordpress for another blog site, but the subdomain site's rss feed points to my parent site.
    Can anyone come up with any suggestions?
