This article is intended as a guide for webmasters who want to
display automatically updated content on their website in the
form of RSS feeds. In this article I will cover the easiest
method to implement using javascript for displaying RSS on
websites to create additional dynamic content. This will allow
you to display headlines from syndicated content around the web
on your website.
RSS to Javascript.
By far the easiest method is to use client side javascript to
parse and display the headlines on your site. To achieve this all
you need to do is cut and paste some HTML or javascript code into
the web page where you want the RSS feed headlines to
display.
To achieve this there are several sites that offer a free service
that will allow you to select a few options to choose your feed
source and display formatting parameters. You will then be
presented with some javascript code that you can cut and paste
into your website.
Now before I give you the address of the sites that offer this
service freely there are a few points I need to clarify with you.
Although you will achieve your goal of displaying dynamic content
on your site in a few short minutes there are some downsides to
this method.
Javascript is not search engine friendly.
As you may or may not already know, javascript is not visible to
search engine spiders. They will not see the RSS feed you have
parsed into your site and so this will not benefit you if you are
doing this to better your search engine rankings.
You are using a third party service.
The second potential downside is that although the javascript is
on your site you are actually calling a script on another server.
This could lead to a couple of potential problems. If the server
is busy it will mean the news feed will take longer to display on
your site. The other point is if the third party server fails or
disappears altogether then your feed will not be displayed at
all.
In summary there are a few downsides, but if you do not code and
want some feeds on your site quickly then this is the way to go.
Ok, so now you understand what is involved here are the links to
the sites that provide the free RSS to javascript service. All
you need to do is follow the on site instructions.
