My Newsgator Render Page

EDIT: I've uploaded a zip with the file in it. Just place this in C:\Program Files\Newsgator\Render and select it in the Newsgator options as your default renderer.

I've been watching Scoble's blog and see that he's been testing out how the different blog search engines are doing against each other.

At the same time, I created my own rendering xslt file for Newsgator to render posts. I decided to add links to the different search engines, and I thought I'd share my file for anyone else interested. Here's the contents:

     1: "1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
     2: 
"1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
     3:     
    10:     $ng:description$
    11:     

class="ngpostlinks">

    12:         "href">"item/link" /> Articleif test="string-length(item/commentlink) > 0">
    13:             "yes">  | "yes"> 
    14:             "href">"item/commentlink" />Comments

    17:         "href">"concat('http://services.newsgator.com/subscriber/Related.aspx?relurl=', item/encodedlink)" />Related

    27:         "href">"concat('http://blogs.icerocket.com/search?q=',item/encodedlink)" />Ice Rocket
    28:         "yes">  | "yes"> 
    29:         "href">"concat('http://www.blogdigger.com/linkSearch.jsp?link=',item/encodedlink)" />Blogdigger

    31:         "href">"concat('http://clusty.com/search?query=',item/encodedlink)" />Clusty
    32:     

    33: 

This puts a link at the bottom of each post to the article, the comments (if available), Newsgator's related feature, Bloglines, Technorati, Feedster, Blogpulse, Ice Rocket, Blogdigger, and Clusty.

# re: My Newsgator Render Page

Hi there,

Very, very cool. Thank you for doing this. I tossed a link to it from the Feedster blog.

# If you use Newsgator then you want this

If you're a user of Newsgator, then Joel Ross' new XSLT file nicely integrates Feedster with Newsgator. Recommended.(I'm not a big Newsgator guy since I'm not an Outlook user but if I was, I'd use this for sure). Scoble -- you still using Newsgator?
