As you can see above, each feed comprises of a single channel element and one or more item elements: Channel Title - the title of the RSS feed Link - a link to the relevant web page for this RSS feed (RFNAPLES, this is where the link is located back to your chart) Description - a description of this RSS feed TTL - number of minutes a channel can be cached before refreshing from the source (no need to refresh this feed more times than this as the data is unlikely to change. Data should be cached on the calling website in-between calls). Following the 'channel' section. there are one or more 'item' sections in every chart feed. Each 'item' represents the albums/ranks within a chart. item Title - will always be a name of an album and its rank within the chart. The feed will always be in the correct sequence (the top-ranked album will be at the beginning of the feed). Link - URL to the relevant album on BEA Guid - Unique ID of this item within the feed (an album is unique within a chart hence using the URL again here) Description - this is a HTML formatted representation of an album/rank but you may choose to ignore this on your own website and render your own version using the Item->Title element. |

My website is at http://rfnaples.spaces.live.com/ Microsoft uses some kind of RSS feed module that can display up to 10 items from the feed web address along with a non-hyperlinked feed name-not the chanel title and link. I guess some type of Windows Live Galery gadget could be written to provide a dynamic feed name link.
It would be nice also to have an easy method to show the feeds in MySpace, Facebook and Bebo. _________________ Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by RFNAPLES Bubbling Under The Top 100 Greatest Music Albums, Part 1 by RFNAPLES |

We'll look into creating some gadgets for the more popular social networking sites. In the meantime, we've changed the feeds slightly, the file format remains the same (as this is the RSS standard) but instead of the URL that I gave earlier (with the .php extension), we now provide the following:
Individual chart feeds:
e.g. http://www.besteveralbums.com/feeds/BestEverAlbumsdotCom_albummaster_BestAlbums.xml (If your user name contains one or more spaces, replace each space with a hyphen.) Overall chart feed:
e.g. http://www.besteveralbums.com/feeds/BestEverAlbumsdotCom_OverallChart.xml Chart feed for any year:
e.g. http://www.besteveralbums.com/feeds/BestEverAlbumsdotCom_BestAlbumsOf1968.xml Chart feed for any decade:
e.g. http://www.besteveralbums.com/feeds/BestEverAlbumsdotCom_BestAlbumsOfThe1990s.xml The individual charts will update every time you change your chart. The aggregated chart feeds will update once per day. |

Your example works, but when I insert my shortcut (copied directly from my chart) it doesn't work. When I click on the rss logo it doesn't work either. The old code worked fine with the exception of not reporting the chanel title. _________________ Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by RFNAPLES Bubbling Under The Top 100 Greatest Music Albums, Part 1 by RFNAPLES |

| I think that is a flaw with Microsoft's RSS parser and not with the above code. The link is in the correct place within the schema but MS are choosing not to render it. I'll look at creating some widgets people can use on external websites. | |

Yes I agree it is the fault of spaces.live.com not BEA. Spaces only reports item titles/links, not chanel title/link. I hope my placement of BestEverAlbums.com in the title is adequate source notification for this site. _________________ Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by RFNAPLES Bubbling Under The Top 100 Greatest Music Albums, Part 1 by RFNAPLES |
