I have searched and found discussions about RSS feeds, but I can't find actual RSS feeds. I have made my own with Yahoo Pipes and it works for now, but I'm sure it will break if the number of challenges is different than 4. I'm going to look into that later. At least in My Yahoo and iGoogle I can now see the active challenges with submission dates, descriptsions and number of submissions.

Try it out if you like. If you know a better feed let me know.

The above link is the RSS URL.

Just plugging it into my browser seems to work fine. I may try out some RSS clients or Firefox plugins and see how it works over time. I'll let you know.

Shame, shame, shame.

Actually, if you are not doing web-based development, RSS could go under your radar. With the advent of XML/XSL and XSLT, syndication has become an extremely useful tool.

Well, seems to be working fine with 3 challenges. Yippee!! Now I'll be reminded daily of the challenges I ought to be doing instead of being a lazy *&$^# watching TV, haha.

Thanks for that. Works great in my RSS reader.

Not sure I need it since I check DPC multiple times per day but it can't hurt. :)

I think this is what I am looking for â€Â¦ an RSS feed of DPC score/s.
I tried that feed from a while back and it just sits there.
