Note on This Section

I broke off the news feeds from this thread because a flood of news items was eating the indications of news topics that were actually being discussed. Kat and I are thinking about what to do to get around this. Having the Randex news feeds at hand, for example, is a very good thing, but not to the extent of taking over the board's information on recent posts.

Maybe we will try to set up a blog for news feeds and link to it. But for the time being, there are two threads: one for the news feeds and one for discussion.

If you wish to discuss an item in the news feeds, you can do so in the news feed section, but I suggest you copy the link to this section. Your discussion will get buried over there by the constant flood of new items.

I am revamping this New section from when we set it up back in 2006.

Forget Randex. That site no longer exists and, besides, the guy who did it was a jerk based on the private correspondence we had back then. OL was not pure Rand enough for him or something. (Why do I keep thinking of the term "pure bullshit" when dealing with people like that?) :) 

Anyway, here on OL we already discuss news articles all over the forum, so this is more or less a catch-all section. I will post Randian news here, but use as you will.

The subforum, O-Land RSS Feeds, will be for automatic new posts from select O-Land sites. 

I am also setting up a private RSS Reader with keyword filters for Randian news from normal news sites, but those articles, videos and so on will be hand-posted in the "News" forum. This will be curated content, so to speak.

I am finally beginning to understand RSS a little.

Call me a late bloomer.

At this moment as I am setting up the RSS feeds, there might be a little disorganization as I try this and that.

For example, for some posts, it looks like I am posting the RSS feed topics myself.

I just fixed that and I have now put Kat's old moniker "News Junkie" there, except I have changed it to "O-Land News Junkie."

Soon this will all straighten out and run as smooth as balmy butter on a baby's butt.

(Don't ask what that metaphor is supposed to mean. I don't know myself. But there is alliteration.)
