Comments on: A GIF of RSS http://cogdogblog.com/2006/11/26/rss2gif/ Alan Levine's blog space for barking about instructional technology Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:17:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Alisa http://cogdogblog.com/2006/11/26/rss2gif/#comment-13246 Alisa Sun, 03 Dec 2006 01:15:00 +0000 http://cogdogblog.com/2006/11/26/rss2gif/#comment-13246 Hey Alan, I could use this on my Freshman Comp wiki. Unlike pbwiki, Wetpaint doesn't allow javascript, so I can't put any RSS feeds on the wiki. Kind of sucks, but I like the site and it's free. Anyway, this might be a way to at least get a picture of the posts from the class blog on the wiki site. I'll have to check it out. Hey Alan,

Much like, say, copying and pasting an img tag... But, you know, with links, and searchable text, and all kinds of cool juju...

The question is, where would you need to use a display of syndicated RSS as a graphic? I'm thinking perhaps bringing RSS into Second Life?
