			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For ages, I&#8217;ve been trying to figure out a way of extracting (only) the content of my <a title="London for Free FAQs" href="http://funnelweb.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">FAQ blog</a> and providing it within the layout of my new site. Sounds easy enough &#8211; you&#8217;d think.<br />
I guess technically this means something like exporting posts from Blogger in XML format and then including them as a kind of RSS feed on my site. Or something like that &#8211; RSS has always been a bit of a mystery to me, I guess because I still just don&#8217;t get what&#8217;s so great about it.</p>
<p>Anyway, the other day at work we held a lunch and learn about <a title="Yahoo Pipes" href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/" target="_blank">Yahoo Pipes</a>. I&#8217;d dabbled in them before, figuring it might be one answer to my problem, but though I could extract the data from Blogger using a pipe I could never work out how to publish the data extract on my site.</p>
<p>But during the lunch and learn, the demo showed it was indeed possible to somehow do this.</p>
<p>The answer involved using <a title="FeedBurner" href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/home" target="_blank">FeedBurner</a>.</p>
<p>So I had another go at it, and sure enough I could extract the data from blogger via pipes, then convert it into a feed by running the pipe url through FeedBurner.</p>
<p>Yeah &#8211; and then I got stuck again.</p>
<p>But handily, on the FeedBurner site there was mention of yet another site &#8211; called <a title="SpringWidgets" href="http://www.springwidgets.com/" target="_blank">SpringWidgets</a>. I just needed to insert the url for my yahoo pipe into a tool on their site and instantly I received the code to use to display a widget on my site with a feed of my FAQs.</p>
<p>Finally, I appear to have a workable &#8211; though not ideal &#8211; solution. <a title="London for free search" href="http://www.funnelweb.org.uk/search.shtml" target="_blank">Here it is</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure I did it the long way, and I&#8217;m certain there is an easier way, but this will do for now. Next step is to amend the code so it validates.</p>
