what's this?

this was intended as a PDML "feedroll", a list of feeds from photoblogs or photography-related blogs by members of the PDML (not every blog by every PDML member, but blogs or similar pages that have some photo content, and have a feed); it is automatically updated as i maintain the list in my desktop newsreader


it's not quite true to my intent

this was easy to build, but the list isn't quite true … i had wanted it to link to feeds, but instead it links to the home page associated with each feed, which may or may not provide the respective feed; in fact for several of these sites i'm watching a specific or filtered feed in my newsreader

if you want more, follow the Preview link at the bottom — it (and the Subscribe link, which does the same thing) leads to a view of what's most recent at the combination of all the feeds; from there you can also get a feed of the whole group, to which you can subscribe; this is the way i view these feeds, all the recent posts mixed together; if you know what to do with an OPML file, you access the individual feeds from the OPML link at the bottom of the short right hand column (if these instructions seem off it will be because Google keeps changing the interface and i only check now and then)

also note: most of the links got their names directly from the original feed; sometimes these names were pretty generic; since i read all these blogs as a lump i don't look at the names often, but i've edited a few names to be more informative

how is this list produced?

i keep this as a list of feeds in a folder in NetNewsWire, my newsreader, and all my feeds are automatically synced from there to Google Reader; Google Reader allows "sharing" folders, so i shared my PDML folder; Google Reader supplies a widget for Blogger sites that automatically displays an up-to-date list of feeds in a shared folder, so i simply created this Blogger site and added the widget; this method is very easy and is self-maintaining, so i can just leave it alone; i'd prefer to also list the actual feed links, but unless Google Reader can automate that, it'll be too much trouble
