The newest section of the Warbirds Resource Group is http://www.warbirds-online.org/

This news blog will be managed by myself and Ryan Keough and will feature warbird news gleaned from WIX posts and from outside the site as well as supporting the podcast with show notes. It is in BETA right now which means we are still working out the bugs but I thought I'd open it up to WIX so you can get a feel for it.

Check it out and tell us what you think.

The site is set up to work with firefox and does so pretty well. In IE there are some formatting issues we are working on as well as an overall navigation issue. But we are working on it and hoepfully will have it all squared away soon.

Ryan has been busy and redesigned the site. He's still tweaking but check out the new look.

I especially like the briefness of the snippets. All the meat and no fat!

Very good job guys.

Excellent work!

Are there plans to enable the RSS feeds?

EDIT: Added link to what RSS is.

Yes, the RSS feeds will be active... but we are having some problems getting it working. We'll post when they are working.

The RSS feeds are working now from what we can see...

http://www.warbirds-online.org/?feed=rss2

I use a homepage (protopage.com) that can index feeds as well, and it seems like if I enter http://www.warbirds-online.org there instead of the rss address above, it will work. We'll test it over the coming days to see if it works.

If anyone tests the rss feed and it isn't working, please PM me. Thanks.
