A PV RSS Feed, Any Interest?
A PV RSS Feed, Any Interest?
I've gotten a couple of requests for a RSS feed for new Pebble Version strips. Personally, I never use them myself, and don't see a whole lot of need for them in comics that update on a set schedule...but that's just me. So, two questions. First, do any of you guys think that PV needs or should have a RSS feed? Second, does anyone know anything about how to create a RSS feed?

RSS feed
I'm not sure if I entirely understand what it is. And I have no idea about how one would go about creating one.
If I understand what it is then I'm not sure PV needs one, but that's just me.

Maybe you should ask the people who asked you for them to explain it to you. Tell them that if they can figure outhow, then maybe you'll do it. I mean If you find out what it is, how it workks etc and It ends up being something awesome that we all might like, then tell us!

Re: A PV RSS Feed, Any Interest?
I visit the site every day anyway... it's kind of instinct at this point. Favorites, Pebble Version. TWC Banner. Vote. Back. Back again. Forums.
If I had to interupt my pattern to feed an RSS, I'd probably go insane.

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

It might be useful to some people, but I personally wouldn't use it.

I agree, but if you want to add more features to PV, i'm all for it.

Re: A PV RSS Feed, Any Interest?
A RSS Feed is essentially a little script that sends updates to people using a RSS reading program (think like a little news ticker type thing). I could see the use for comics that update sporadically but since PV updates on a regular schedule, it doesn't seem all that important. Unless people are too lazy or forgetful to visit the site on the days it updates... I kinda figured you guys visit the site enough already that you wouldn't really care about it. But, for those other people, I might look into the process of making one and see how much work is involved.

I use an RSS for some webcomics I'm not at daily.

Re: A PV RSS Feed, Any Interest?
I was thinking about using the RSS feeds of the webcomics I read, except I don't really know how much it matters considering I just open all the webcomics in my bookmark folder each morning.

I am terribly forgetful and don't get around to eading it all the time sorry >.<
But what do you need to get this 'RSS' thing. You mentioned a "RSS reading program"... like what?'
Actually, scratch that. I'm going to Google^^

Not happening. I dislike blogging in general and super short blogs interest me even less.

Re: A PV RSS Feed, Any Interest?
Well it's been a while since I posted here and in the time I've been away I've found the beauty of RSS feeds of the webcomics. Firefox reads them and they are just so convenient. It's jsut a drop-down tab and I can check if there's updates without haveing to click on the site, having it load, then having to see if there's a new comic. If there is then with some I have to bookmark that newest page and.. blah
So if the question is still open as whether or not to get an RSS feed.. then that sounds cool.
But to be honest I haven't read the comic in a while.. but as I type this I have the first comic open. That's right I'mma gonna ARCHIVE BINGE! Goin' back to the start and reading through them all. Should be fun^^ Prolly only gonna take a couple of days...
Curse the awesomeness of awesome webcomics! CURSE IT!

Re: A PV RSS Feed, Any Interest?
A PV RSS is currently on my list of things I'll look into when I've got a bunch of time to spare. Though, since the comic updates on a very regular schedule, a RSS feed doesn't really seem too neccessary.
