Is there a LunarPages RSS news feed and/or blog that one can subscribe to to keep up-to-date on what's new at LunarPages?

I'm looking for a more efficient way to do this than having to manually wander the various forums on LunarForums.com.

Thanks,
Malcolm

An RSS seems like a good idea but at the moment the only place I know that contains the information your after is the 5 forums under the 'Information & Opportunities' section at the top of the main forum page.

That's exactly what I'm looking for too.  All I found was Malcolm's post asking for it so I'll add my voice asking "please can we have an RSS feed of LunarPages news"?   Applause

Thanks

All LP news is located in the upper forums of the forum.  We have no plans at this time to add RSS.  However, the latest news portion of CAP will be available shortly and will contain the same information found in the forum news sections

I thought SMF supported RSS feeds...

Anyway, you can click on the Notify button on the announcement board(s) here to receive email notification.

Well I might sharpen my PHP skills by writing a screen scraper to retrieve pages from lunarforums.com and serve them as RSS.  I'd use caching to avoid overloading lunarforums, and check each forum only once every 10 minutes say.  Is this something that

a) people would like to use? (I know I would)
b) Lunarpages would be happy for me to do?

I might make a start now for my own personal use but if the Lunarpages people are happy for me to do so then I'll make the feeds publicly available.

Well I've got it working for myself, but I won't make this publicly available unless lunarpages let me know that it's ok.  Here's a screenshot of a feed shown in RSSOwl

jenzgaard - no response from LP yet.  In the meantime, you can read about how I did it in my online ramblings blog
