I have set up a News System using S9y:

Entries are shown in the portal page also: http://www.shopanbieter.de/

My partner added a third party poll system and we changed the RSS charset format to ISO due to requirements of the 'german market' (yes, Garv, I know your opinion about RSS charset format ) Last not least, I changed the templates (obviously).

By changing the RSS charset to ISO you do know that you will cause trouble for many RSS validators and proper readers, right?

It of course eases up integration into a sidebar with PHP functions, but anyone would be better of to use utf8_decode if he wants to output a UTF-8 feed in a ISO-8859-1 environment )

But enough of that nagging, the site looks nice Even though it wraps the title section with the ":: Home :: "links into two lines here on my 1024x768 resolution...

Why did I _know_ you would pull this arguments?
Anyway, some 'big' german RSS Feeds go with ISO-8859-1, I've been told. Like Heise...

It does? I have to use a magnifyer on my system (firefox, 1024x768 TFT, Suse-Linux). So I'll have to look at some win systems... *sigh*

Nicola: But Heise only uses RDF 1.0 / RSS 1.0 format without content; so no wonder their feeds work.

About the page, yes it does in my Firefox 1.0.4 / WinXP setup... I'm sorry! )
