Glad to see that feature added! Are there any plans to make the definition part of the feed as well?

Are there any plans to make the definition part of the feed as well?

Adora, thanks so much for doing this, it's great. One thing, though: as of a few weeks ago, most dictionary words do have a definition on the site. It's kind of subtle: check the grey text to the right of the word: <a href="http://wordie.org/words/pipe" rel="nofollow">http://wordie.org/words/pipe</a> This is John, the guy who built Wordie.

The definitions are nowhere on the site. I *might* be able to work out including them in the feed, but that could easily get pretty complicated. It doesn’t, actually.

However, does wordie also have the definition in the RSS? It's kind of annoying to have to click the various links to see a definition. Okay, it works.

Open the word list you want to push through the pipe. Wordie's had some bad links lately, but I found you can get to your lists via wordie.org > you > your lists. Here's a link to one of mine to use as an example: <a href="http://wordie.org/people/adora?wl=6957" rel="nofollow">http://wordie.org/people/adora?wl=6957</a> 2. Copy the "Feed" link underneath the title of the list. Again, here's mine: <a href="http://wordie.org/people/feed/adora?wl=6957" rel="nofollow">http://wordie.org/people/feed/adora?wl=6957</a> 3. Open the WordieFeed+ page, paste the feed URL into the text box, and click Run Pipe. The List section of the screen will populate with your list. 4. Yahoo can automatically add the feed to tons of services just by clicking the appropriate buttons, but Outlook just wants the RSS feed. You can find it by clicking More Options > Get as RSS. <a href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?FeedURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwordie.org%2Fpeople%2Ffeed%2Fadora%3Fwl%3D6957&_id=99ea89f0f1d9657cbea1754b1d817aea&_render=rss" rel="nofollow">Here is mine</a>. 5. RSS feeds are managed in Outlook 2007 by navigating to Tools > Account Settings > RSS Feeds. Click New and paste in the RSS link you just copied from Yahoo. After you click Add, you'll see a screen that will let you change the name of the feed and the folder items will be stored in. The defaults should be ok, so click OK. That's it! Items from your feed will appear in the RSS Feeds folder in less than a minute. 1. Open the word list you want to push through the pipe.

I never use Wordie, but if you can instruct me on how to import it into Outlook, I can help test it for you. Yay, well done!
