Because our Dutch Homebuilt club wants to have their website updated,
some-one suggested adding RSS feeds to it.
"RSS" and "homebuilt aircraft" are two entirely different topics so
doing a search for the two together is not likely to give you much.
... I think RSS at moment it is more something for
bigger news stations like BBC and CNN.
Not at all. You will find that most, if not all, blogs support RSS
feeds. It is simply another way for a user to subscribe to a source of
information.
They have enough news per day and week to refresh and tell their
ènlisted` members. We, the homebuilders, already have a problem
writing just one message to our members every month.
What you are looking for is a "Content Managment System" which allows
you to update the site content independently of site design (which is
done by someone with some IT skills). Blog software falls into this
category but there are other CMSes which include much, much more than
blogging.
If you end up using a CMS you will almost certainly find that the
software will include support for RSS! It really is that common.
Bottom line.
(1) We do use Google every day for search purposes.
(2) The homebuilt aircraft people are more busy building, than sitting
behind the computer and further, the internet seems to have a new
buzzword every 3 months..
RSS is here to stay for a bit longer than that :)
My e-mail software (Mozilla Thunderbird) supports RSS and at this moment
I am subscribed to 10 Aviation RSS feeds including:
* Aero-News Network
* Flightglobal.com feeds on Aircraft, Business and GenAv, and Headlines
* AVweb Flash and Biz
These are all big websites but I subscribe to small "blog" RSS feeds too
like "Fly the Engine" at http://flytheengine.blogspot.com/
I hope this helps,
Michael
