RSS/Atom

Top  Previous  Next

These section can be used to enter some basic RSS/Atom feed configurations.

 

RSS-Style
WebSite-Watcher supports different layouts to convert RSS feeds into a readable HTML page.

 

Ignore changes in old postings
By default, WebSite-Watcher alerts an update if new or changed postings are found in an RSS feed. If you are only interested in new posts but not in updated articles, then you have to enable this option.

 

Keep the most recent X articles
By default, WebSite-Watcher shows only the RSS feed items that are really saved in the RSS feed file. Enabling that feature allows you to keep a small archive of older postings in the feed. This feature can also be used when an RSS feed dynamically adds and strips old articles (seen in rare cases).

 

Ignore articles older than X days
By default, WebSite-Watcher shows all articles that are stored in an RSS feed. If an RSS feed contains thousands of old articles, then the result would be a huge HTML file that would slow down WebSite-Watcher. With that feature you can ignore articles older than the specified number of days to keep RSS feeds small and fast.
