One RSS Feed from Multiple Weblogs or Channels
Posted March 10, 2010 @ 12:49 PM, by Marc, in BWS, ExpressionEngine — 3 
Every ExpressionEngine installation comes with an RSS template that can be used to publish content from any one of the website’s individual weblogs/channels. By default, this RSS template can only publish the contents of a single weblog/channel. For example, if ExpressionEngine is setup with a Company News weblog/channel and an Upcoming Events weblog/channel, and the goal is to offer content from both via RSS, one would have to provide visitors with two separate feeds using two separate instances of the RSS template.
There are plenty of cases where providing more than one RSS feed is ideal, as it’s common for a website to offer numerous types of content that do not overlap. Look no further than Digg (60 RSS feeds as of this writing) and The New York Times (175 RSS feeds as of this writing) for typical examples. However, what if one does wish to provide a single RSS feed that has content from more than one weblog/channel? Read on…
3 Things About 5, Starting on the 1st

Moving Across the Ocean
Posted September 03, 2009 @ 12:07 PM, by Marc, in BWS — 6
On the first day of my favorite month, October, I shall be settled in at, and enjoying the atmosphere of, Boston Web Studio’s new office. You see, BWS is being relocated to the charming little city of Beverly—“the garden city,” “the official birthplace of America’s Navy,” and “hey, that’s also a girl’s name.”
Getting there, however, will be a long and terrifying northward journey over a Bermuda Triangle-like section of the North Atlantic Ocean. This fearful trek will take place over an impossibly long five mile stretch of land after leaving the safety and comfort of the Salem location and, with great despair, I must prepare for the inevitable and unavoidable casualties that will occur during this long and arduous journey. I dare say that if I am not careful, I could lose three to four iced coffees and a few hundred calories along the way.
