Marijuana.com

For several years now Marijuana.Com has been offering an RSS / XML feed of the news and discussions. I was just curious if anyone was actually using this feature.

To be honest, I just started using it myself. Since I have switched to firefox and thunderbird I've found that using the RSS feeds are much more effecient for me to manage the vast resources I visit daily/hourly.

I know the results of this are going to be L O W - but I wanted you guys to know these tools are available Ad Free.

When I click on the RSS Feed I get script.
What's up with that? Same thing happens with the XML.

I use the code Rick posted, tweaked it, and used it for a marquee on my website, works great!

Nope, don't use it. But I did switch to the most excellent Mozilla browser not too long ago, and noticed mj.com has a "add live bookmark" button in the bottom right of the screen that says "subscribe to 'marijuana.com latest posts'".

After bookmarking it says "live bookmark failed to load". Looks like a GREAT feature, checking the latest posts without even having to go to marijuana.com.

Any idea why it doesn't load?

yes, I know why it has "failed to load".

There is a but in earlier codebase that does not recognize our RSS format. The newest software downloads available from "firefox" correct this problem and you are able to see the headlines without visiting the site.

FireFox web browser has just gone to version 1.0 and is now considered stable. I encourage everyone to download the latest version available as it takes care of numerous reported bugs.

Solutions, try the latest version and let me know if you continue to have a problem.

Ah, it's solved!

And it is great!

Can I change my "What's an RSS Feed?" vote to "I still don't know what an RSS feed is but I think I'm using it"?
