Hey Babe - Dump the Gorilla...
...was quite possibly the least successful sign I ever used when hitch-hiking years and years ago now (with somebody else, it has to be said), but we'd been stuck at Scratchwood services on the M1 for way too long, and we were in need of little light relief from the cars that obviously weren't going to stop anyway... It did raise a few smiles though, which was the desired effect...
Anyway - that phrase came back to me just now as I was listening to the deliciously, politically incorrect High Priest himself, Zodiac Mindwarp, and tinkering with the Openlearnigg CoRank site...
In particular, I've added a link to an RSS feed for each unit (sort of...) to the listings pages...
...and if you click through on a "View course/Join Discussion" link you should end up on a page like this...
What's that I see there? An OpenLearn Unit RSS content feed embedded in a Grazr widget?
Now why would I ever want to go to the OpenLearn website again? Heh, heh :-)
(Just teasing.... err... maybe... ;-)
Visit Openlearnigg.
PS Just as when I was hitching all that time ago, the joke is on me it seems ;-) Grazr seems by default to be (sensibly) limited to feed sizes greater than 512KB, which is smaller than some of the OpenLearn unit content feeds. So there may be a few feeds that don't display properly at the moment... But if I haven't thrown too many toys out of my pram, I'm hopeful that the Grazr folks may up the feed size for feeds rooted on http://openlearn.open.ac.uk ...
