New Talk of a central MOD site
There has been an increase in the ammount of talk of late of starting something to co-ordinate all those great MODs.

While this is all well and good these things have been tried before and there is a certain level of feeling that this will go no where fast.

This is a shame when so much work languishes in the purdition of the unknown. Hopefully this news center will bring some releif for MOD hunters.

There is available an ATOM feed version of this site and MOD number one if I may be so bold is an ASP reader for the atom feed.

Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0")

objXML.setProperty "ServerHTTPRequest", True

objXML.preserveWhiteSpace = false

If Not objXML.Load(URL) Then

Response.write "<P>ERROR<br>code: " & _
objXML.parseError.errorCode & _
"<br>Linea/Col: " & _
objXML.parseError.line & "/" & _
objXML.parseError.linepos & "</P>"

For Each objNode In objNodeList
For Each objNode2 In objNode.childNodes

Intro
There has been quite a buzz around the MaxWeb Project(s)

The only problem is that the MOD section is a bit scattered. For this reason modders news has been set up.

This ATOM feed blog will hopefully provide up to date news on MODs Downloads and that sort of thing.

I can't do it alone and so comments here with your email address if you would like to become a regular, irregular or occasional contributer.
