Hello there !!Bonjour,
There was a deep silence since long time. Well, today is something good to share with you. A new feature rolled out to the site called “Tweet This”. So what is this ?
You may noticed a small twitter icon at the end of each post.
More over it will short the URL of the post to make it fit within 140 characters limit. Hope you like this feature.
As usual, i will wait for your feedback. Let me know what do you think about this new feature.
Cheers!!
Hello... There has been an issue since a while with the domain http://www.smashingfeeds.com and i received many emails as well as tweets about this.
Well, the issue was that the domain was about to expired and i asked my domain registrar to renew it, however due to some issue it didn’t happen and so domain was automatically went to parking list. Finally, issue was identified and not site is restored back.
All the users of "Tweet This" button were affected. It was noticed that all those blogs and sites who installed this widget, were redirected to http://smashingfeeds.com site. I am not sure why was that happened.
Now site and widget are working fine.
Sorry for inconvenience. For any question or clarification, let me know @blogfisher.
Enjoy and have a great weekend !!
When smashingfeeds.com was launched starting of this year, it has default three column view. Many comments/suggestions on the blogosphere say that three column view will not work any more. People are tired with that. I don’t know whether that’s the real case or not.
Anyway, we considered those suggestions and finally providing more flexibility for all readers. We added three options for display. You can choose either
just by clicking on the options as shown in below image. You can find them on right top side just below the category menu:
One can switch among these options.
One Column View:
Two Columns View:
Three Columns View:
Finally thanks to jQuery team for providing such a great library.
Hope you would like this feature. Please feel free to provide your feedback/suggestions.
Cheers!!
Hi,
There is a small update to SmashingFeeds.com. First the addition of new homepage. In previous version, when you open the site, it will by default show you the feed content from technology. Now with this new homepage, you will find all categories on one page. You can pick one of them based on your interest. The main reason is to show all categories on a single page rather than menu (menu is still there). This makes more visibility.
Another update is the addition of new "VC" category. This covers the news stories from all best Venture Capital blogs and websites.
Hope you like these changes. Feel free to provide your feedback.
Cheers!
Bonjour,
Site is up again. AS i mentioned in last post about hacking of this site by iSKORPiTX; (TURKISH HACKER). I am still not clear the intension behind hacking of this site. Most of the people say they do such things just for being popular and fun. I always keep back ups for there is no issue.
Well, there is another update. We launched feed arrangement feature couple of moths back. One can re-arrange all feeds as per choice. This feature was removed in new version of the site due to some technical issues.
It took some time to fix the issue and now this feature is back. Hope you will enjoy it.
Please give it a try and let us know if you have comments or suggestions.
It looked strange to me when i first noticed few files at my FTP server which was not created by me. I opened them up and it said that site is hacked by BY iSKORPiTX; (TURKISH HACKER). This is strange as there is no database smashingfeeds.com maintaining. So i don’t understand why does someone take interest in hacking this site.
I changed my login details and password immediately. The hacked page screenshot is shown below :
I am not able to upload any files to FTP server right now. So currently site is down.
Hello,
It has been a long time since i wrote my last post on this blog. Well, there are lots of things going on. I was in US for a month period and updating my personal blog i-Stuff…Interesting Stuff that Matters. Also working with twitter mash up..
Oh yes, i am currently working with twitter mash-up. Will soon tell you about it as its just a idea right now and will take sometime to shape it up. Currently facing problem with twitter APIs. You can check it here… If you have any idea to fix it, feel free to get back to me (blogfisher.80[at]gmail[dot]com).
Well, there is a small update to SmashingFeeds.com. If you are a regular visitor, then you would have already noticed it. There is a small “eye” icon 
which is added today. There are couple of suggestions i received to add this feature. When you click on the “eye” icon on the right side below the category menu, it will display only headlines of news stories as below.
Many times, it becomes difficult to go through the entire page. This “eye” button help you to scan the headline faster.
Its a kind of toggle button. So if you want to display author information, publication date as well as small description about news, then click the “eye” icon again and it will show these additional details. So its just a click away to switch between two views of news.
Hope you like this small “eye” feature. Enjoy!!
