CodeGuru RSS?
I don't suppose there's an RSS or XML feed for Code Guru. I looked around and didn't see one.
I'd be very interested in using one, which feeds the latest articles, and forum threads. If there is not one, I'd be interested in making one.
Would anyone else be interested in something like that?

Well not really. An RSS feed isn't a replacement, or side-step of the website. It's a mere suppliment which would simply list the newest, say ten, articles or Forum Threads. All that would be in the aggregator would be the Thread/Article title and a description, which hyperlinks back to the main website, and all the advertisers are still seen.
In fact, if I had an RSS feed which links to the latest articles or forum threads, I'd be apt to visit the site more often.
But that's just me.

well I guess it depends on how you do it, as you've indicated a hyperlink... Not that I mind...but there is the builtin email updates (which I don't use myself)...
btw the main cg webpage lists the latest threads...

That's pretty much what RSS is for. To list news/blog entries, etc. and provide links back to the source website.

Yeah, but I'm making a webpage for myself that includes several news feeds, weather, and a few of my other favorite feeds, and I was hoping to put a dev-archive feed on there too.
Due to the underwhelming response I've gotten in this thread, I'm guessing there's not a lot of interest in such a feed.
Oh well
:(
