Techmeme now supports returning search results as RSS, so I’ve updated FeedDemon’s Techmeme search definition to enable quickly subscribing to Techmeme search feeds in FeedDemon.
Here's how to use it:
- View this page in FeedDemon, then click here to install the updated Techmeme search definition
- Click the Subscribe button, then type the keyword you wish to search for and click Next
- Select "Techmeme" from the list of search engines and click Next
- Select the folder you want to place this feed in, then click Next
- Click Finish
FeedDemon i's a great program... and on top that it's free!

I am new to this whole RSSfeed thing. So when I tried to download one. Window's sent me a Msg, stating they do not support this file, try and search Win's for one. So I did. Window's said they do not have one to fix my problem. Then they said try searching Win's Live. I did and they sent me to you. I downloaded your, FeedDemon 2.7, no problem.
Then I saw your comment to download, the FeedDemon Techmeme UpDate for 2.7. So I tried and when I clicked on "Click Here" as instructed, I received the following Message:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

A semi colon character was expected. Error processing resource 'http://nick.typepad.com/downloads/Techmeme.fdsrch2'. Line ...

My problem is I do not understand where to insert the semi colon. So I Still have not been able to download the Techmeme UpDate.
Can someone who is not as computer illiterate as me, HELP ME!!
Thank you.
Bob

@Bob - you shouldn't have to do anything special to install the Techmeme search update. Just make sure you click the link *from within FeedDemon* because it won't work in your browser (you'll get the error message you describe if you try).
