Fun with WordPress: Testing Outbrain

  • Andrew Rickmann · 1 year ago
    Hmm, not that impressed with the Feedflare. I was hoping for more. Perhaps it is all that is needed though. We shall have to wait and see.

    Hey Andrew - I'm the founder and CEO of outbrain. Thanks for giving us a shot!

    Regarding the FeedFlare - we are very limited in what we can do there, because FeedBurner only allows to post text that is linked to a different page. FeedBurner does not allow any scripts, images or anything dynamic to be served there. With that limitation in mind, you can better understand the FeedFlare implementation we chose.

    As Kate - said - if you have any better ideas for the text we post there, we'd love to hear them!

    Thanks for explaining Yaron. I can see how that would be limiting.

    Perhaps an additional widget that filters the post content when it goes to the feed and adds some javascript that way?. On WordPress I am sure that's possible.

    Thanks for installing outbrain! We hope you enjoy our widget and if you have questions feel free to contact me. I'd also love to hear any thoughts you have on our feedburner integration. Kate[at]outbrain[dot]com
