Hey, guys.

Constructive critism or comments? I'm not very concerned with SEO critiques since I've pushed this site to top 10 in Google in 7 days of launch, however, suggestions are always welcome.

Layout, design, usability?

Thanks.

I've rewritten most of the Wordpress core for better SEO. It's fully customized.

Thank you very much.

The extra time spent on rewriting WP was well worth it as well. The site appeared top 10 in Google after only 7 days of launch.

Link your thread....

In any case, have you read any of my RSS articles here?

Simple Syndication with RSS 2.0 by Nilpo.

As for building it dynamically, I need to know more about your site set up....but yes, it can be done. All of mine are fully dynamic.
Comments on this post
infamous-online agrees: thanks for the rss feed article

there is the thread. and i'll check out your link and hope it puts me into the right direction.

my site setup, pretty it's nothing fancy, but basically i just the rss feed to be updated, whenever i add new articles to the site. that is all i want it for, so i know this sounds simple, but coming from someone who has never really dipped my hands into rss it's a bit challenging.

Okay...are you using a CMS system? How are you serving your content?

We need to find a way to integrate into whatever you're using. The rest is as simple as updating a text file when a new page is created.

I am using my own, i don't like the cms programs out there, i'd rather control things to my liking.

hmm the updating the feed automatically is probably going to be my only issue really, as i don't know how to have it update automatically.

basically the design is similiar to your website, however whenever i get around to it, i'll be making video tutorials as well.

Update automatically? Why not just trigger an update when you publish a post?
Otherwise, some type of cron-job or scheduled task.

Nilpo, the site's banner reminds me of windows... but a little more evil. Then I realized your content was Windows related, so it's somewhat fitting. The rounded tabs on the top look a little like Apple's site though.
