I set up some news searches and created a set of simple pages to pull in and display those feeds. You can find the start of this here:http://www.arcticribbon.org/rss/ [some technical issues need fixin’]

You probably know that you can search news items at Google News and get headlines/descriptions emailed to you regularly and/or subscribe to them as an RSS feed.

Right now, it’s pulling in terms like:

  • wildfire
  • wilderness
  • blm
  • national forests
  • the wilderness society (minus some words to help skim off some articles from/about that other wilderness society down under)

There are probably other terms that come to mind (wildlife refuges for one) which could be added. This is still a work in progress but thought it might be useful to someone at this point. Still pulls in some irrelevant articles and has a bit of a time delay. But it’s quick and easy to use.

If anyone uses an rss reader (Firefox and IE 7 have built in RSS readers, btw) and simply wants to pull these same rss feeds that’s possible.
