Frequently Asked Questions

What content do you store from a feed?

The soccer blogs database stores the full contents you make available in your feed. We use your posts to return matching results when users search the site, and also have other plans to make your posts easier for readers to filter and find.

What content do you display from a feed?

On the site and in our aggregated feed, we show up to 300 characters from each blog post. Which works out to be the first couple of sentences from each post. If the feed summary includes an image, we display a 70x70 thumbnail of the image too. Hopefully, that is enough to entice readers to go on to visit the original blog.

What is a feed?

Technically, a feed is an xml based eay to syndicate content from one site to another. Using a feed reader, you can subscribe to multiple feeds and keep track of updates to your favorite sites in one place. A good primer is at FeedBurner, About Syndication, RSS, and Other Web-Altering Chemicals
