RSS news feeds - Putting them into a Database

I want to put RSS News Feeds directly into the MySQL database, any ideas ?

Basically, I want to comment on each story BEFORE it goes onto my website, so I was hoping that I could get the one line news stories put into a table, so that I can post a comment on each one.

(I can write the next portion which queries the database but I just don't know how to populate the database in the first place)

Blog, story, book, page…: Too much writing modules?

Drupal come bundled with a lot of different way to write an article. At least four:

  • blog
  • book
  • page
  • story

My question is: why so much of them? Dries proposes to abandon book (I agree: book is just a bundle of article and hierarchisation, and the outline module already allows hierarchisation for the rest. Redundancy → deletion), but we still have blog, page and story.

Now, if you have to convince someone that the three of them are indispensable, what would you tell her?

Content onsite to word

Hello everyone. I would like to know if there is a way to pull my content online to word or any other office program. I want it to be in such a way that it will pull over like a list so maybe I can print it out to give to others who cannot access the web. For example - If I had 100 CD listings online I would like to be able to pull this info and have a copy of the content in word as a listing. That way I can print it out and give to others that cannot axxess the web. I very much would appreciate it for any suggestions. JayDigga

Database for users's compositions and transcriptions

Hi

I'm about building up a site for pianists and similar musicians. :)
And a guy in my team had the idea to create a database where the users can upload their compositions and transcriptions. I think it's a great idea. But i don't know how exactly to realize it. :/

I think that the database maybe could have different menus. Like: composer, style, year, opus, ... whatever

Any ideas?

BTW: You can give our test site a look here: http://xardas.xglusers.de/drupal

Best wishes, xardas
