- upload wp_smartrss.php to your wordpress home path, for security reasons i would suggest you rename this file to something you like
- to start importing fields go to http://sitename/wp_smartrss.php url, if you would like to do this automatically you can setup a cron job to run that file
- to setup the cron job use a code similar to this:
"nice --adjustment=19 /usr/bin/php /$full-path-to-the-file/wp_smartrss.php"
or
"nice --adjustment=19 /usr/bin/php /$full-path-to-the-file/your_file_name.php"
- if you would like to put this file somewhere else on the server, you need to edit the line from the file wp_smartrss.php containing
require_once('wp-config.php');
and replace it with something like
like require_once('/$full-path-to-wordpress/wp-config.php');
where $full-path-to-wordpress is the full path to your wordprss installation folder

Blog Comments
After reading on inessential.com about Brent Simmons reverting to his own blogging system:I tried Wordpress for a little while on this weblog since I wanted to have comments. And last night I switched off Wordpress, back to my homegrown static-rendering system.For comments I'm trying out Disqus. The cool thing is that it works via Javascript includes, so I can still have a static-rendered site.I decided to try Disqus too. It was very easy to install on my static pages, just a few minutes work modifying the page templates.Looking back through my archives I noticed I switched off comments over 5.5 years ago because of increasing amounts of spam, which was a pity because it was always good to get some feedback on posts. I am currently writing my own blog publishing app using ASP.NET MVC and LINQ to SQL. I am sticking with static pages because performance can be a little slow with dynamic pages on a shared hosting system, and I don't want to break any of my existing links (I'm still on IIS 6 and so routing is not as flexible as it would be with IIS 7).
What’s Being Built with BOSS
It's been about a month since Yahoo! Search BOSS launched, so it seems like an opportune time to look at some of the mashups and search products that have been built using the BOSS APIs & services. As we've said before, our goal with BOSS is to remove as many of the barriers as possible to creating new search products. By providing deep access to Yahoo! Search's investment in engineering, sciences and core search infrastructure and removing key usage restrictions, we are encouraging a whole new level of innovation in search experiences. We are very excited to see the diversity in products that many of you have already created. What follows is just a small sample of what's being built -- we'll post again soon with a bunch more. 4HourSearch -- Built by Sam Pullara, 4HourSearch is a demonstration of the power of Yahoo! Search BOSS combined with a slick user interface. Aptly named, it took Sam four hours to build the site using a combination of the BOSS API and YUI design tools.
PlayerSearch -- Ted Kasten and team are building a sports search engine that pulls in content from a host of sources, including BOSS. Fantasy sports fanatics, check it out here.
NewsLine -- As part of the Daylife Developer Challenge, the folks from Dipity built a mashup using their timeline API, Daylife's news API and the BOSS API. The result is a really interesting way to visualize news for any topic. Congrats to the Dipity team on winning the BOSS mashup prize!
Tianamo -- Tianamo is a 3D search visualization early prototype built by Lachlan James. It maps the relationships between the search results from the BOSS API and displays them visually. To check it out, you'll need to be running Windows with Java 1.6+.
As you can see, the possibilities for creativity and innovation in search are almost endless. If you're building a mashup or product using BOSS, make sure to tag it with "bossmashup" on Delicious so we and the rest of the world can discover it.The BOSS team
Is Software Installation on Linux ‘Broken’?
You know a controversy is a big one when none other than RMS weighs in with his opinion, and sure enough, that's what happened in the Mono debate late last week. "Debian's decision to include Mono in the default installation, for the sake of Tomboy which is an application written in C#, leads the community in a risky direction," RMS wrote on the Free Software Foundation's site.
