Scripting News: Saturday, September 6, 2025
- There's a new version of FeedLand, v0.7.0. #
- Here's the thread where we discussed the testing of the new release. It worked everywhere we installed it, so it seems fair to open it up to people running their own FeedLand instances. #
- The only features it adds are ones needed to use it with the new version of WordLand, coming soon now. #
- But if you have the time, it requires an update to the database, so it's not the usual thing. It explains at the beginning of the thread what the change is to the database. #
- Here are the instructions for doing the upgrade. #
- If you're installing a new instance, the instructions are the same as always.#
- If you have trouble, post a note on the thread.#
- Thanks to Scott Hanson for validating the new version. It's always important to have someone to check my work. #
- Yesterday's note on scripting.com about feedland.org was not the whole story. In the end I thought it made more sense to start the database over from the start. #
- There were a few users who subscribed to feeds that were constantly updating, and they never came back to use FeedLand. So as soon as I started it back up it started loading new items at a very high rate, and after a couple of hours it was still going. There aren't that many people using feedland.org, so I thought the best thing to do is to start over and hopefully people will figure out how to resubscribe to the feeds they want to follow. #
- Then I felt that people might be able to use a few tips on how to get going again, so that's what this post is about. #
- Sign off and on#
- First thing you should do is sign off and sign back on. #
- You will still have the credentials in your browser, but the server doesn't know about them, so when you try to do something that requires you being logged in it will fail. But if you sign off and on again, that will take care of that problem. #
- To sign off, choose the command in the system menu at the right end of the menubar. #
- Once you're signed off the only option will be to sign back on. :-)#

- From the first menu, choose Subscribe/From an OPML File.#
- Here's a screen shot.#
- Questions?#
- I started a thread on the support site for questions.#
