All that the Everything Report currently shows is only two of the top level structures from the GEDCOM. Those are the: INDI (individual) and FAM (family) structures. What I needed to code were the others: HEAD (header), NOTE, OBJE (multimedia), REPO (repository), SOUR (source), SUBN (submission) and SUBM ...

... by the forum to a special code: that was interpreted as an improperly placed xml tag, and the RSS feed returned with an error. In the end, it wasn't difficult to fix, but it was tricky to track down.

... set up the feed on my own machine so that every time a person adds a new post, the XML file would be updated with the new message. But when I put that up at my website, I got a security error. Unfortunately, the ASP script was not allowed to write to a file in the directory I wanted. So, using an article I earlier found on the web, I converted that program to a ...

... access Amazon product information.
To my surprise, the information was provided in XML format (Extended Markup Language) - the stuff that Microsoft has been pushing over the last few years. I wanted to write this with ASP (Active Server Pages which are written in Visual Basic Script) which I've worked with in enhancing my Behold Discussion Forum and am now fairly ...

... with the latest trends in Genealogical data modeling, there seems to now be a central XML standards site that is collecting the various specifications for Genealogical Data and XML. I did discuss some of my thoughts on this technology on July 27 when I talked about Topic Maps.

... it up again.
This issue had a link to an article that really caught my attention: XML Topic Maps - by Craig Murphy, which discusses how XML topic maps provide a mechanism to intelligently classify information, and how to implement topic maps in your apps. That article then links to The Tao of Topic Maps, which is subtitled: "Finding ...

... a few things that I'm sure will be added over time, such as dragging and dropping the XML icon from a webpage to add a feed.
I always like to browse the code of Delphi Open Source programs for ideas and techniques that I might be able to apply to Behold. I knew, however, that FeedReader would be using Delphi 7 or later, since that was when

Last couple of RSS things required. First, add the XML icon onto the top of this blog page and link it to the .xml file. That's what's used to identify a newsfeed to people with news aggregator programs such as SharpReader.
I've even picked an image to go with my RSS file. This image is often displayed ...

After a fair bit of studying of RSS, I see that the basic XML used for RSS is relatively simple (no pun intended). My best bet is to write a program to scrape my own Blog the way I want to, and create an xml file in RSS format. I'll pick RSS 0.91 since its specs are really all I need. ... After an hour or so, I ...

... of switching. The alternative is to find a "scraper" tool, to convert my Html into XML in either RSS or Atom format. Well, all the scraper tools are either online tools or written in some scripting language (like PHP) which requires your own server to run on. The format is not too difficult. I could write my own one, but that would just deflect me away from my real goal ...
