I think this is going fairly well so far. What are your thoughts on this feature?

Also, I do not like the name "Packers_RSS" ... I want to make an announcement about the feature, but it needs a better name.

Please share your ideas!

Actually I don't find the RSS all that bad. At a glance we know it is being pulled in. Of course the funny little logo does the same thing.

I was thinking something like "Curlys_Ghost" ... something like that. I'd like the name to have some Packers founding linkage that will make people think and also be clever too. Packers_RSS is just lame duck sauce lol

If we are going backward in time I like Johnny Blood myself.

Went with MintBaconDrivel ... can you figure out why? 🙂

RSS feed: Good way to get discussions going, but most of the topics I've looked at posted by our resident RSS bot tend to have little content. Some of that is good in that you don't want to post the whole article and so that real people have more room to fill in the blanks, but some of that is bad in that it feels more like lower-value spam and otherwise is visually off-putting. At least IMO. At least for me, two or three paragraphs would be the sweet spot, anything more would be too long.

Also something I'm sure you're aware of, but there's some formatting issues to work out. Example:
http://packershome.com/yaf_postst16957_Ahman-Green-says-Packers-RB-s-in-house-can-get-it-done.aspx 



Any way to auto-convert these to their proper characters?

Finally, how is it determined what gets posted? Is it simply running on full auto posting stuff from JSOnline and other select RSS feeds or do you and another person(s) just choose what's posted off of your own RSS feeds?

It's an anagram.


RSS is from several sources and just takes the articles that haven't been posted since the last check.


Unfortunately, the volume of characters provided is all we can use.


The multiple topics is starting to wear me out.


I have a character fix method that I plug in the bad characters and replace them with the correct ones.
