Web Blog of Greg Mathews

You can now access the following rss feeds from DropaHolics:

Top 10 Overall Dropaholics can be found http://dropaholics.com/feed.php?top=1

Top Dropaholics on your Blog can be found at http://www.dropaholics.com/feed.php?userid=25351 changing the number at the end to the userid of your blog, this can be found by right clicking on the on your Entrecard widget and cutting the userid from the url or by browsing the Monitored list of blogs, moving the mouse over your blog and clicking the ‘Get this Feed’ link.

Blogs that you are a Top Dropaholic on can be found at http://dropaholics.com/feed.php?bloggerid=http://gregorymathews.com changing the url at the end for the url of your blog.

In addition to text only feeds, there are also feeds with text and the blog badges, or the blog badges only without the text. Add the following to the end of any of the regular feeds above:

&showimages=2 - this includes the text title and the image in the description

&showimages=3 - this includes just the image in the description, note that blogs normally in your list that are not registered will not appear

&showimages=4 - as above this includes the image in the description, but this will show text if the blog is not registered.

You can also change the badge sizes in the feed, by adding

&size=small - the badges are displayed 60 pixels square

or

&size=medium - the badges are displayed 90 pixels square

if the size is not stated then the images are displayed at 125 pixels square.

I will be simplifying the whole process during the week and adding some widgets etc and will let you know when they will become available.

I am also working on finding an efficient way for the site to automatically find more blogs to be included in the ‘Monitored’ list.
