We're always looking for a way to get our boards out there and provide larger access to even more people. With UBB 6.5+ providing Content Islands which allow XML feeding to news readers it's never been easier to get the word out...

My board UGN and this board UBBDev both use Klip Farm and Klip Folio to help get us with the news reader crouds and I'm going to give you a brief rundown of all you need to design a Klip™.

What you'll need is a template (below) and notepad. Note that klipfolio is for windows only at this point, but it doens't matter which bbs you use so long as you have content islands.

Template (insert this into notepad or wordpad and edit the [] text):
Code
[/code]Note that to make the above code work you will need to make a content island of all your forums (that you wish to use), set the number of posts to 15 (it's best for the feed, it can be anything you wish between 1-15), make it as an RSS 1.0 document.  Use the document where i stated in the klip code as [url to content island].

Be sure to name the klip as [site name].klip. Now you'll want to go here and setup a "provider account". After you setup an account you'll want to upload your klip with any picture you want, I reccommend using: http://www.serence.com/beta/klipfiles/icon_small/1674

Be sure to set the klip as active once you upload everything. To view the klip you'll need to download "KlipFolio" or you can use any other syndication software and use your bbs content island that you created earlier.

note that when you make ANY changes to your klip, use the update option in the provider section and be SURE you set
Code
</pre></div></div>up .1.  For example:<br><br><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>
to
[code]
When you update these, and klipfolio sees that your version information has changed, it will notify your users to update their klip, which most users have it set to automatic so it'll update on it's own.

Oh, and on a final note, the provider section will also provide you with stats on how many users have downloaded your klip, it'll also add you to their directory and list you as the newest klips (till others submit) which some people are curious, so it's all good...
