Title: RSS Feed Help
Post by: Zach on September 17, 2008, 09:13:20 PM
Gary, sorry if this is spam, but does anyone know where I can get RSS Feeds from the NWS, and would it cost money?

RSS feeds do not cost money, and I don't believe the NWS has an RSS feed, as the RSS indicator doesn't show up when I view the site.

Does anyone know where I can find a site that has weather RSS Feeds, and how to get them into PowerPoint?

You can't put an RSS feed into PowerPoint. :no:

Weather.com has an RSS feed.

How do you update them like how Devon does?

And it's only for their video stuff.

What do you mean? You can't update the weather.com feeds, they do.

I now subscribed to the local weather feeds from weather.com (found a backdoor entrance).


Does anyone know how to import them into Visual Basic?

The file of the subscription's location would be helpful, too. :yes:

You can't import RSS into PowerPoint.

And the NWS has an RSS feed, or I wouldn't have data.  Oh, lookie here.  Scroll to Hourly Observations. (http://www.weather.gov/rss/)
