RSS2S5

If you’re looking to turn your blog into a web-based slideshow presentation, Pascal Van Hecke has a nice little script that will make it happen for you (this was published last Fall, just found it). Simply input your RSS feed and the script converts your last 10 posts into a slideshow using S5, which is a standard-based slideshow based on XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript (aside: I used S5 for the first time at CiL and highly recommend it).

For anyone who does any sort of regular presenting, I can see this being a really useful tool. Simply store all your content in a blog or wiki or social bookmarking tool, or really just anything that generates a feed for you, and head over to Pascal’s script to run it off into presentation format when you need to. I just generated a presentation from my del.icio.us feed and it worked like a charm! (Now I just have to get better at adding notes to the stuff I save in del.icio.us). Sure does make it easy to keep your presentation content up-to-date!

If you go to Pascal’s site – and enter the feed of your site into the text box, then you can see the S5 presentation for your blog. If he’s put his code on the site, I’ve not found it (though haven’t looked that closely). Other than for a demo, I’m not sure how useful it would be, but, rather fun anyway. [...]
