BUFFALO FEED

Moved to a new host provider, with more memory available. Should be able to add some search & auto-categorization now that we have the resources to do some heavy processing & analysis. Comment or submit a contact message if you notice any problems!

I'll be at Comfort Zone Café this coming Wednesday (Jan 28) at 7pm, and would love to meet some of the readers of this site. Just a casual social event, nothing structured or planned. Free wi-fi & good coffee, we can take it from there.

You can RSVP at Meetup.com. Hope to see you!

If you logged in, you were not able to view the site. This has been fixed and checks put in place to prevent that error from occurring again. Very sorry!

If you create a user account (it's a link in the top right of the site header), you can mark feeds that you'd rather not see.

Here's a short video showing how to hide a feed once you're logged in.

To unhide a feed, visit your account page (also linked in the top site header once logged in), and click 'unhide' to resume viewing the feed.

The contact form now works. There was a permissions-related bug in my code that prevented submissions unless you were me (very useful, right?).

I fixed it quickly over lunch today.

Sorry!

Buffalo Feed has only been up a few days, but we've already had a dozen new blogs submitted for inclusion, bringing the total to 170, and yesterday we had 60 unique visitors.

I had no idea that the list would get so big so quickly!

This weekend I'll be updating the site to allow filtering out the stuff you don't want to see, and categories to help you find what you do want to see, as well as posting a site index/directory that's not dependent on recentness of posting.

Additionally, better support for images is in the works. Currently images from other sites only show up if they're included in the summary of the site feed, and they're shown at full size. The new way it will work is that any image, in the summary or in the full content, will show up — but they'll be reduced to thumbnails that link back to the original posts.

Until then, back to work. Cheers,

This site was created to find the many people doing awesome blogging in and of Buffalo. It's too much to keep track of without a little help. Thanks to everyone in Buffalo who are putting their passion out in to the world for all of us to share in.

Buffalo Feed aims to be a helpful and useful resource to the local internet community. If you have any suggestions or concerns, please let us know!

Features coming soon include categorization and search, personalized filters, and better tools to allow user participation.

Have a look around...
