MailChimp RSS campaign: force include old posts - rss

I'm using MailChimp for an RSS campaign but it seems MailChimp only includes new posts from the rss feed. In my case MailChimp should include old posts to.
I thought that tampering with the post's pubDate (setting it to now) in the feed would make MailChimp think it was new but that doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone have an idea on how to 'fool' MailChimp so it includes old posts to?
Thank you in advance

After chatting with Mailchimp support it seems it should be the RSS <pubDate> that defines if your post is included or not.
Problem was that my timezone setting in Mailchimp was not the same as the time timezone posted in the RSS feed...

Try to use the FEEDBLOCK tags (https://us12.admin.mailchimp.com/). MailChimp told me "Any FEEDBLOCK tag in a sense will be its own feed so any dates set for the RSS campaign are ignored."

Blogger RSS feed: comments not updating

Hello,
I use blogger for almost one year. For a long time I didn't need RSS, but now I need both posts and comments feed.
First (posts feed) works great when I post a new article, RSS updates in seconds.
But comments RSS never updates.
What am I doing wrong?
TECH INFO:
Validator output of comments feed.
I finally find the solution! Go to the Settings -> Google+ -> Turn off Google+ comments.
After you disable they, they will be deleted from your blog.
Google provides these details:
If you used Blogger comments, they will remain on your blog. Third
party commenting systems might not be retained when you enable Google+
comments.
In short, RSS readers cannot see Google+ comments.
I hope it helps you :).

Tumblr RSS feed that only contains specific tags

I want to create a RSS feed based on the Tumblr tags I use. I want to submit some of my posts to a blog syndication service. To the blog syndicator I have to provide a RSS feed. But I don't want all posts to appear there. Is there a way I can do something like this?
When I tag a post with a specific keyword: (eg: #blog) the post will
get added to the RSS feed.
If the #blog tag is not there, the post doesn't get included to the RSS feed.
OP found the answer themselves here it is:
mydomain.tumblr.com/tagged/tagx/rss
Adding /rss after a tumblr URL apparently generates an RSS feed (probably only if the blog has enabled RSS).

Unable to get Number of Comments

I' am using RSS Feeds generated from WordPress Blogs to fetch some Information. WordPress is just too good in providing comprehensive information about a Post and it is quite easy to extract Number of Comments for a Post in RSS Feed. Now the problem is that I didn't find any way to get Number of Comments from RSS Feeds generated by Drupal and Joomla Blogs.
Is there any way to do this?
Any help would be really appriciated.
Have you tried using feedburner by google? feedburner.google.com/ I have in the past had the same issue and for some reason running it through feedburner first seemed to help.
Here is a cool Drupal module that may help you. If your rss field is not generated by views. First Move it into views. Then use this module to output the comment count as a field
http://drupal.org/project/views_rss
Otherwise you'll need to do some theme overrides in the template layer. Drupal does not provide a default method for customizing the core rss feed.

This rss link is only work in old version IE.This rss link is not work with firefox,chome,lastest broswer and facebook page.
Plsase help me how I can get rss link for my forum.
Sorry for bad english.
First of all you should consider upgrading your forum because of security risks.
What you need is to auto post your forum topics to your facebook page/profile?
If is that what you need you can use a 3rd party website that provide this kind of service.
The one i use and recoment is http://twitterfeed.com/, where you can automaticly post all your forum updates to twitter AND facebook.
About your RSS URL, the default feed of SMF forum is really /index.php?action=.xml;type=rss wich will display ALL updates of your forum, including new topics, and new answers to topics. You can freely manage this feed type to show only new topics, or only topics from one determined category, etc. Good Luck.

Parsing all posts of a wordpress blog by tag. RSS or plugin?

I'm complete new to wordpress but I have to parse a complete blog into a another website.
This should happen on a hourly base.
My question now is what should I use for this? The posts I need to parse are marked by a specific tag.
Can I use the RSS-Feed for this or is it limited and will only return me like the last 20 posts?
Or is there any plugin out there which can return me all posts of a tag or category in an XML or JSON?
Thanks guys!
You can use RSS for this. You can set the feed limit on RSS in your Wordpress Blog Settings. The feed URL would be:
http://example.com/tag/tagname/feed
Check this page on the codex.
