Adding this blog to the Delphi 2006 IDE

Author: Bob Swart

Content:

The Headlines in the Delphi 2006 IDE are taken by default from the local Getting Started topic, but you can select another topics, like the “Check for Delphi Updates” topic (which by the way still only shows Delphi 2005 updates at this time), or the Main Aggregated Feed of the Borland Blogs.

Edit BDS\4.0\Welcomepage\xml\rssFeeds.xml to add other RSS feeds to this list (like http://www.drbob42.com/rss.xml for my own columns or http://www.drbob42.com/Weblog.xml for my weblog). Specifically, you need to add the following to the rssFeed.xml file, just before the closing </rss> tag:

  <channel>
    <title>Dr.Bob's Blogs</title>
    <item>
      <title>Dr.Bob Examines...</title>
      <link>http://www.drbob42.com/rss.xml</link>
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>Dr.Bob's Delphi Notes</title>
      <link>http://www.drbob42.com/Weblog.xml</link>
    </item>
  </channel>
You need to restart Delphi 2006 for the new settings to have effect.
