Yeah. It usually tells you what you can ask and how to ask it.

Maybe I need to have a word with Dale Evans to see what he thinks.Right, just checked and the Liverpool and Arsenal ones are official club Alexa skills produced by their teams themselves. So official Liverpool FC and official Arsenal.
Going to have to make one now aren't I?I see Sheffield Weds have a forum one on there, OwlsTalk.
Would be great I think.Going to have to make one now aren't I?
That would be excellent. Without even getting out my bed I can get the lowdown before the day has even begun.Right, NewsNow is a non-starter, £75/month to access one RSS feed!
To be fair, you could probably recreate it using the Telegraph, Observer, CovMad and the Trust page.
Are there any hooks on this site Nick? Wondering if you could do the front page post titles.
Yes there is rss. When at computer I'll find the links.Right, NewsNow is a non-starter, £75/month to access one RSS feed!

I use RSS from news sites to get data into here from those already, and podcasts

Yeah, but she says nice things to me and never has a headache.so its like a wife ?
I tried the one from the link in the bottom right corner, and edited the URL to be just the CCFC forum, and it loaded the XML in my browser, but when I put it into the Alexa setup page, it tells me it's malformed.
The requirements for the feeds are here: Flash Briefing Skill API Feed Reference | Flash Briefing
Don't know how much control you have over them though.
Edit: this was the feed I was using: http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/forums/coventry-city-general-chat.7/index.rss
So your wifes not all bad like you allude thenYeah, but she says nice things to me and never has a headache.

People like Jim Brown may have something.My laptop died last night so I stopped working but was thinking of starting with a CCFC quiz skill.
Anyone got any ideas where I could get questions from?
Feed format requirements:
For text content items
- Provide the format type as a MIME type in HTTP Content-Type header
- Provide between 1 and 5 unique feed items at a time.
- If more items are provided, Alexa ignores items beyond the first five.
- Items are presented in order from newest to oldest, based on the date value for the item. Alexa may ignore older items.
- Each item in the feed should be unique and should not overlap with content in another feed item.
- Each item in a feed should contain an audio item, title and description, or a text item, title and description. For audio items, the text element must be present, but only the audio contents will play to the customer.
RSS text multi-item example
- Each feed item is currently limited to 4500 characters, and will be truncated if it exceeds this length. The truncation will occur at the nearest full sentence below 4500 characters.
- Should be plain text and not contain special characters such as SSML, HTML or XML tags.
- Should be properly punctuated, short, and easily understood when read aloud. Commas (,) and semicolons (
result in short pauses. Periods (.), question marks (?) and exclamation points (!) result in longer pauses. Avoid using non-standard punctuation as it could cause TTS issues.
This example contains multiple text items that Alexa reads to the customer and plays an earcon sound between the items. The title and link will display in the Alexa app.

NoThanks for the comprehensive low-down, Otis, but I think this is a bit too "Star Trekish" for my liking!Are Alexa's jokes any good?

Hmm, that says it should ignore the additional items.
Only thing I can think is if it doesn't like the youtube embed type code in the post contents.
Also the proper punctuation is relying on users!
I was thinking just the post titles which limits it a bit on embedded media. Emojis might be an issue, but you could write something to strip them out.
I know fuck all about RSS feeds. Could I just host my own and do preprocessing on the SBT one to make it meet the format requirements then serve up the modified version?
That would work, it would be a case of loading it, parsing it and then spitting it back out in the format you need.
Can see it now
"Who's the daddy of Sky Blues Talk Alexa?"
ES HAITCH EM EM E E E is the daddy.
Sky Blues Talk is down.

I prefer not to flash my briefs, thank you.For Redskins news I say 'Alexa, open Redskins Fan' and it gives me a flash briefing.
