Scrubz is a Tuel that takes a bunch of RSS pheeds and lets you pick and chose which specific RSS items you want to use, edit and modify them to make them "your own", then merge them to generate a new, unique RSS pheed using on the highest quality resources.

Scrubz reads categories and imports RSS pheeds from the Newz Tuel. Please visit the Newz Tuel forum for help and questions about The Newz Tuel:

Scrubz ReadMe:

1. Click on The Newz Tuel

2. Create a new category

3. Input some RSS pheeds - Refer to The Newz Tuel thread for more info - http://www.dombom.com/dcforum/DCForumID27/6.html

4. Click the Scrubz link:
http://127.0.0.1:12345/scrubz/

- You should see a list of all the categories you have created in The Newz Tuel, along with a button "Create RSS pheed".

5. Click on the Category link for the category you just created.

6. Enter the RSS header info: (Note: You don't have to be perfect with this info, just need to enter something to have a complete RSS pheed.)
Link - Enter the URL to your page, blog or RSS pheed.
Title - What's the name of you page or blog?
Description - Enter a short description about your site/blog/pheed.

7. Fill in your FTP info where you are going to publish your pheed on the web so Scrubz can automatically FTP your pheed.

Note About FTP: If you plan on using the same website and folder for multiple feeds, make sure you name them something unique and not "index.rss", as you will overwrite your pheed each time you upload it...I suggest using a good keyword to use as your RSS file name:
keyword.rss

8. Click "Modify" button...You should be taken to a new page containing all the RSS pheeds in the corresponding Newz Tuel category.

9. Select the RSS items you want to include in your own pheeds. Each individual RSS item you have selected will be marked with a light purple background telling you "this item will be included".

Edit items, if desired or needed. You can do this before or after clicking the "ADD ITEM TO RSS PHEED" button.

10. After you have added and customized all the items you wish to include, just click the "UPLOAD RSS PHEED" button.

That's it...You've just created, modified and uploaded your own custom RSS pheed!

Next time you want to update this pheed you won't need to fill out your RSS header or your FTP info and will just select and modify news items for your pheed updates.
