Adding RSS headlines to a site

Yowser · #1 12-15-05, 05:10 PM

When I look at all the information about RSS feeds, I find plenty of stuff about how I can get it for personal use but not much on how to publish the results to a web page.

Does anyone have any information on how this can be done or a resource for making it happen?

Well, usally its not too hard. Use this for example...

http://www.w3reports.com/newsfeed.php

They tell you, rather, give you the code to add the headlines to your site. This is what most sites who offer rss feeds do. Nothing to it.

Thanks! That one will be cool for news related to web development and I'm sure it will come in handy for me someday but, in this particular case, I was looking for sports headlines.

I found this site, http://www.freshcontent.net/ and I may just go with their free news feed. It looks like they offer several news categories that can be added to a site for free.

If your were going to use the travel news, on the travel page...
http://www.freshcontent.net/director...al_travel.html
.... it has the code for adding it to your site.in this case the code is

PHP Code:

  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.freshcontent.net/travel_news_feed.php"></script>

if you want to add an incoming RSS feed to your site, try http://www.feeddigest.com it's free, as simple as "cut and paste" if you like, they force no ads on your site and you can watch a quick 2 minute video on how to install it here http://www.feeddigest.com/video1.mov

the best I've seen so far hands down

Feeddigest/RSSdigest is very nice. That's what I've been using to put Slashdot Games headlines on my site, so I never have to bother writing news anymore.

It seems so easy to get behind if you write your own. But i wish you could buy the whole article feed, so it dosnt link back.
