Absolutely...welcome to the group! feel free to share your thoughts and ideas with the group at any time. Ellie Eleanor Wehner 6:05 pm

Check out the recent updates to the site. I've added news feeds from the International Journal of Phytoremediation and Science Center Environmental News Eleanor Wehner 10:21 am

Nice updates! The news items seems rather old though. Are there other news authorities in the field? Or perhaps add live twitter search results or new Delicious bookmarks? Wibowo Sulistio 7:10 am

I will check. The RRS feed for IJP has up to date (daily) postings but the postings seem to reverse when I try to load (it shows the oldest first/most recent last)? I'll continue to work on fixing it. Is there any way to add separate modules showing different RRS feeds...or is there a way to mix the display of the different RRS feeds? Appreciate any help, just trying to learn the wiserearth system! Eleanor Wehner 11:43 am

Strange... I'll ask around... there may be a software bug in the module. As for separate news module... not possible at the moment, but you can view individual feeds from the "filter by channel" menu. The different feeds btw will automatically be mixed, supposedly showing freshest content on top... Let me know if you have other questions. Wibowo Sulistio 1:56 pm

THanks Wibowo. I think there is a bug with the originator of the feed (phyto research supporting the journal). I deleted that feed. Welcome any other suggested feeds...('green remediation' is a more broad term). I'll keep checking for news or additional twitter links to add. Eleanor Wehner 6:51 pm

Ellie, Looks like you've added an impressive source of news/articles there! Btw, in case you don't realize, it's possible to position the "File Library", "Other..." and "Network" modules to the left or right column by drag and dropping the four-way arrow. Wibowo Sulistio 11:26 pm
|
|
Done! Thanks for the feedback. One question...can you tell me how or where to add/post 'delicious bookmarks on Phyto' (as you suggested)? Eleanor Wehner 4:48 pm
|
|
On each delicious bookmark page, there is an RSS feed. It should come up in your browser's address bar as an RSS icon or at the bottom as an RSS badge, Click on it and you'll get the URL/address. Wibowo Sulistio 8:57 pm
