My Birmingham RSS feeds
RSS.
Horrible, nasty words that scare normal folk and have them running from the internet to take refuge with their library cards.
They’re not that tricky though. I’ve been keeping track of hundreds of websites to find stuff to post here. Visiting them all daily would have taken too long and cost me my sanity, so instead I used RSS. Most competent websites have an ‘RSS feed’ sending out the latest updates. All you need to do is use an RSS reader (I use Google Reader, there are others) and you’ve got a time-saving one-stop-shop for all your favourite websites.
Anyway, point being, as I’ve sent Kate a file listing pretty much all my Birmingham RSS feeds I thought I’d put a copy here and share it.
The file is here. Import it into Google Reader by going to ‘Settings’ then ‘Import/Export’ and follow the instructions.
Disclaimer - for various reasons, not every Birmingham blog is in there and some that are are now defunct, etc and so on. Basically, this is not comprehensive.
Also worth checking out - last month Substrakt compiled a list of their favourite Birmingham blogs.

This on the other hand, does try to be comprehensive — but there’s not guarantee that any particular one is live at the mo’ or any good.
BiNS ‘links page’ (the blogroll really, but so long I shifted it to it’s own page):

There are OMPL files there too, if anyone should be brave or foolhardy enough to attempt it.
