Post subject: RSS on web page
|

Hi All
I have been trying to add an rss feed to my site. I simply want to display the feed on the right margin of my site. I have tried several different programs to make this work but have had no luck.
I tried RSS2HTML and ended up with a url that I am told I just have to add to my site and voila the feed will appear but no luck.
Can anyone explain to me in dummy English how to do this?
My site is straight html and I would prefer to not change it.
Dave

Hi Dave,
You don't say if you are trying to create a feed for your own site or republishing an external feed.
The simplest way is to use a bit of javascript;
| Code: | | <script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/TayadscomRssFeed?format=sigpro" type="text/javascript" ></script> |
This is all I use to display the content of my own feed on other sites.
There are other more complex ways but if you are trying to keep it simple then a bit of code is about as easy as it gets.
Gordon.

Hello
I'm not sure exactly what your trying to do but your probably going to have to use some sort of script. PHP would be the best as it would not rely on java script being enabled on the client side. There are a number of drop in solutions freely available with PHP.

Sorry.
I am trying to run another feed on my site.
I do want this to be viewable to the SE. I want them to see this as content. If I use Java script will it be viewable.
I am new to this RSS thing (still) so I am not sure if what I want is possible but I am learning as I go.

No. Most SE's do not process Javascript.
You need to use a server-side language (like PHP, perl, ASP). Then the SE's will see the content.

Post subject: XML > HTML
|
|

If you want the SE's to view your imported feed as content then you need to look at using an XML > HTML convertor.
You can find plenty info if you do a search on the SE's
Don't expect to see your site getting higher rankings using an imported feed though. Use the feed as added information for your visitors.
Good luck,
Gordon
