Further to my post last week, there’s now a page up at Cricinfo detailing our new feeds.
4 Comments »New RSS feeds from Cricinfo
By Will 2 years ago, mid-December, 5 Comments »
Update December 30 2008. Now live.
I’ve been rebuilding Cricinfo’s RSS feeds over the past couple of weeks. Or rather, advising our geniuses to do it. So here’s a sneak preview.
You can get a feed from any player (55,000 and counting), country, team, series, match or ground on our site. Whenever news is posted to it, you’ll be notified. It’s not yet visible on the site, but should be done in time for Christmas. In the meantime, here’s the feed for the ongoing India-England series:
http://content-www.cricinfo.com/rss/content/feeds/news/361035.xml
The number in bold is the key. You can change it to match any player/country/team/series you like, then subscribe to the feed. Andrew Flintoff’s player page is at http://content-www.cricinfo.com/indveng/content/player/12856.html so his feed would be http://content-www.cricinfo.com/rss/content/feeds/news/12856.xml
It’s an important step for Cricinfo to become a little bit more open and give people more flexibility in how they read. Anyway. Hope you find it useful. In the meantime it also gives you the chance to make your own and smash together various different feeds into one big one. Here’s one I did for all the counties.

1 Comment »Wicket alerts by Email and RSS
By Will 5 years ago, at the end of May, 6 Comments »
Something I’ve been working on is to provide wicket alerts by email. If I’m out and about, in the car or pub, I need to know when someone’s out 
(my email gets diverted to my phone). So I might as well offer it to everyone else. It’s nearly working, and I’ll be running it all through England’s Test against Bangladesh but there’s no reason why it won’t work for all Tests and ODI matches. If you want to join in the fun, leave a comment and I’ll contact you on Wednesday or Thursday.
RSS Feeds broken and fixed

Thanks to Atul for letting me know: my feeds (www.cricket.mailliw.com/feed) were broken, and are now hopefully fixed. Please let me know if you have any problems with it (leave a comment). Upgraded to WP 1.5.1.1 which seems to have fixed it.
2 Comments »New design

You might get a shock when you read this (click on the link if you’re reading in RSS) – updated the design of the site…didn’t like my first attempt, and this looks a bit cleaner. Got rid of the news items for now but have added a useful “recent comments” bit on the right. Let me know your thoughts if you can be bothered
Do you read this via RSS?
By Will 5 years ago, mid-January, 5 Comments »
If you’re reading this in a RSS/RDF/Atom viewer, or on a site like Bloglines, would you mind letting me know? (either email or by leaving a comment). Just curious as to numbers who use RSS here. Thanks.
