Adding an RSS feed to my Frontpage Website

Anyone know the best way to have an RSS feed from my blog show up on my web directory which is created in Frontpgae. Honestly, I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I figured if it was, one of you all would probably know. Thanks.

 

you can register at feedburner and from there you can add a script to your website to show your posts on your blog.

 

Here is what you need http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=250071

 

First, don't use FrontPage.

Second, look into using a PHP parser to convert the RSS feed into HTML.

This might be what you're looking for: minimalmarkup.com/temp/rss/ (code written by deathshadow, hosted by me on his server)

 

Man I was waiting for someone to say ditch Frontpage. I've been using it for so long, and am comfortable with it that it's hard to change, and I don't even know what I'd change to. I know it's very limited, and I'd like to learn more, but I don't even know where to start.

I'll check into the PHP parser and see if I can get that going. Thanks for the tips and link.

Cheers.

 

Well, how familiar are you with structural HTML markup? I can recommend one of two books for you depending on how much you know about it.

 

Honestly, I don't know much at all. My web design background is strictly WYSIWYG html editors. I've never taken any classes and I'm just self taught more or less.

 

Ok, you're going to want to read Build Your Own Web Site the Right Way Using HTML & CSS by Ian Lloyd then.

You may also be interested in Designing With Web Standards, 2nd Edition by Jeffrey Zeldman and Don't Make Me Think! A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, 2nd Edition by Steve Krug. All three books should be available at your local public library (if not, then they should have no problem getting them from other libraries for you).

Why a library? Because that way it's free.

 

I think you should try wordpress and forget frontpage..
also, feedburner is all you need. i hope you make that
switch.

 

Feedburner is good for syndicating feeds, since they take the bandwidth hit for you, but it does nothing for parsing them into HTML.

And WordPress is a content management system that requires some knowledge of HTML and CSS, and a little bit of PHP as well, in order to work properly, unless you use a free template and give someone you don't even know a free link back to their site.
