Question

Adding rss feed to website...?

Answer 1

RSS is a family of web feed formats, specified in XML and used for Web syndication. RSS is used by (among other things) news websites, weblogs and podcasting. The abbreviation is variously used to refer to the following standards: * Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0) * Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0) * RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0) Web feeds provide web content or summaries of web content together with links to the full versions of the content, and other metadata. RSS, in particular, delivers this information as an XML file called an RSS feed, webfeed, RSS stream, or RSS channel. In addition to facilitating syndication, web feeds allow a website's frequent readers to track updates on the site using an aggregator. Usage Web feeds are widely used by the weblog community to share the latest entries' headlines or their full text, and even attach multimedia files. (See podcasting, vodcasting, broadcasting, screencasting, Vloging, and MP3 blogs.) Since mid-2000, use of RSS has spread to many of the major news organizations, including Reuters, CNN, PR Newswire, Business Wire, and the BBC. These providers allow other websites to incorporate their "syndicated" headline or headline-and-short-summary feeds under various usage agreements. RSS is now used for many purposes, including marketing, bug-reports, or any other activity involving periodic updates or publications. Many corporations are turning to RSS for delivery of their news, replacing email and fax distribution. If you click on the button you can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the RSS feed into your news reader or by cutting and pasting the same URL into a new feed in your news reader. Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, have functionality which automatically picks up RSS feeds for you. For more details on these, please check their websites. For many RSS enabled browsers, when you go to our home page you will see an orange icon at the bottom right of the browser window. Clicking on this icon brings up a box with the words 'Subscribe to Learning English RSS'. If you select this then a new bookmark will be created on your toolbar (or wherever you specify.) This bookmark will have links to all of the latest articles, activities, quizzes etc. Each time you open the browser or refresh the live bookmark it will automatically update with the latest links

It sounds like you want to display an RSS feed within your HTML website. The easiest/best way to do this is to use RSS2HTML a free PHP script. This means that you can retain the complete control of the HTML layout (using templates) and make it match your existing design. Additionally using PHP rather than JavaScript will mean that search engine spiders can "spider" the contents of the RSS feeds.

Answer 3

Are you creating a wordpress template or are you making an html file you are placing into your wordpress directory. html static websites are harder to pull off rss feeds because they aren't dynamic, wordpress set up alone has rss ready to use without messing with anything you may want to think about making a wordpress template in this case.



Ha, affliction uses iframes that is embarrassing...

Answer 4

Sounds like you need to just link the News button to "http://www.YOURDOMAIN/feed" is the address of your site feed.



This is what is linked to the News button "http://www.afflictionclothing.com/news/index.php"



To better understand how any website is setup you need to view it in Firefox then right click on the area that you want to view and select Properties or View Source. Firebug is also a handy add-on Firefox tool for viewing the HTML source of a page to see how it was written in HTML.
