Like I've mentioned for the Delphi 2006 IDE earlier, you can extend the collection of RSS feeds that the CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 is using and add your own personal favorites, this time by editing the menuRSSFeeds.xml file from \Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\Welcomepage\xml\ to add other RSS feeds to this list.
In the English Community Blogs channel, there’s an entry for my Dr.Bob Examines column, for example:
<channel>
<title>English Community Blogs</title>
...
<item>
<title>Dr. Bob Swart</title>
<link>http://www.drbob42.com/rss.xml</link>
</item>
That you can extend with a link to my more frequently updated Dr.Bob’s Delphi Notes weblog, as follows (note that I’m not a real Dr. but only a drs., so I’ve changed that part as well):
<item>
<title>Bob Swart - Dr.Bob Examines</title>
<link>http://www.drbob42.com/rss.xml</link>
</item>
<item>
<title>Bob Swart - Dr.Bob's Delphi Notes</title>
<link>http://www.drbob42.com/weblog.xml</link>
</item>
This will ensure that you can view my standard weblog posts every time you start the IDE. You don't even have to restart the IDE: just closing the Welcome Page and reopening it again using the View | Welcome Page menu is enough.
