Get RSS Feeds onto my website

    How do I get RSS feeds onto my website? I am not sure if these feeds will be on its own page or just a part of one of my pages. I want to grab the feeds from a few resources and have them appear on my page, but I have no clue how to do this?

    How is your website built? Is it database driven?

    have you used a CMS?

    Are looking to make an RSS feed from your site, or to have RSS feeds from other sites displayed on your site?

    Ahhhh...

    To be honest - I thought you were looking to have an RSS feed produced from your site.

    I don't have experience with scripts that allow you to publish RSS on static pages - sorry.

    Or rss2html.com It requires a little PHP adjusting but the code is well documented and easy enough for me to use.

    You can always use the service on my site 8)
    You just have to add a simple <script> tag to your site and you can change the layout using stylesheets.

    If you're not programming-inclined have a look at Magpie. It's a great rss fetcher and parser.

    I tried to use magpie and rss2html.php but couldnt figure out how to get them to work correctly. My site is hosted on godaddy microsoft iss server and php is set up (not sure if every function works though). I am not sure where I went wrong with them.

    I use rss2html.com and adapt the script to my purposes -- sometimes just headlines and sometimes full text -- and it works quite well. Usually I'm displaying my own feeds but I have used for others and not run into any problems.
