With a fairly recent release of Script.aculo.us 1.7.0 beta 2, I decided to finally update! A lot of new features have been added since the previous version I’ve been using for feedProcess, hopefully the new features didn’t bring up any new bugs. So if you do notice some bugs please send me an email or post in the comments. I would really love to make the transition to the new library as painless as possible.

The new 1.7.0 beta includes something that might come in use for future features, especially the morphing effects. I’ve setup a quick single page showing what the Morph feature could do. If you have a good idea on how to implement this, I’m open to all ideas.

Just wanted to notify everyone that the feedProcess Tour is up. It’s not exactly a big tour, just a quick highlight of some of the current features.

I wanted to give Podcast RSS feeds a little more prominent feature within feedProcess, it’s no longer just a “add-on”, it has become a feature! I’ve decided to give Podcast controls a better feel with new buttons:

I’ve also added a very cool “Back to Top” button at the bottom of the feed page. This will gradually (depending on size of feed) scroll to the top instead of having that old jump.

Are they a tad too bold?

I’m working hard on improving feedProcess’ efficiency on spitting out data from your feeds. The main part I’m working on is detecting podcast feeds, I’m not 100% sure on when it’ll be done though. I’ll probably have it up for testing when I think it’s ready, just so that I can work on removing the last few bugs before pushing it to the main server.

While I’m still working on that, I’ve included Podcast support for:

Podcast Name: CNet Buzz
Podcast Feed: http://www.cnet.com/i/pod/cnet_buzz.xml

Podcast Name: Net@Night
Podcast Feed: http://leoville.tv/podcasts/itn.xml
Podcast Feed (alternate): http://leo.am/podcasts/itn

Podcast Name: CNN’s News Updates:
Podcast Feed: http://edition.cnn.com/services/podcasting/all/rss.xml

That’s all for now.

I would love to give everyone a nice warm welcome post, but to be honest I have no idea what to say! All I can say is welcome to the official feedProcess Blog.

Here you will find tons of great information, including future updates, exclusive look at some exciting new features and much more. We will also be discussing and validating podcast feeds. It will give all you podcasters a chance to shine and have your podcast officially approved to be displayed on our site.

Thanks for your support!
