Re: [syndication] how easy is RSS fed content integrated on webpage
Can somebody answer a few question I have about
RSS?
1) How much work is involved for webmasters to integrated
the RSS-
code in their page, and have the content feed displayed within a
page-area of defined dimensions (width and height)?
------ Acutally very easy, go to this
page http://simplestores.net/quickrss/index2.html enter the url of your feed and place the
_javascript_ code on a page of your site. This RSS to html is on my site and will
stay active for hopefully forever -----------------
2) Is having
external content integrated within their webpages just
a matter of cutting
and pasting the XML-code of the RSS file in
their back-end? Or is there some
development involved for webmasters
to be able to do this (and have RSS
feeds on their site?) In that
case:
-------- I think this is answered above,
the xml, rss, or atom code must be converted before it can display as html.
-------
3) How much work is involved? Is this easy code (html or
script?),
and are there templates or guides available?
--------- Simple to convert but would need
a custom display page for special modifications ------------
4)
Would it be feasible to send webmasters RSS code, together with
the code to
equip their web-pages as a `RSS fed content aggregator'?
-------- I guess both are better, shows you
want them to display your stuff any way they can I offer the RSS prayer feeds
both ways on this site http://www.tlpn.org
---------------
5) How many websites are really geared up to
have RSS feeds? Or are
we only talking about a hand-full of
portals?
----------- Tens of Thousands
----------------------
6) To date we are using iframes to
syndicate our content. What is
the difference? What advantages does RSS have
for webmasters? (I
know RSS has advantages to site-users, but this is
another matter)
----------- Iframes are great, have used
them for years in my syndication at http://www.live-prayer-banners.org as a matter of fact I syndicate over 60
different items and consider myself one of the foremost syndication experts in
the world. Your best bet is to use a _javascript_ to call the iframe. The client
adds a _javascript_ to their site and if you want to ever change dimentions of the
unit you change the iframe and the _javascript_ only displays the code it is told
to display. --------------------
---------- As far as trying to explain this
in more detail, you can give me a call if you like, I have no problem with
helping someone ------------------------

I really would appreciate a response - please assume
I am a 12 year
old child with no real knowledge of html, xml or any
scripting code
(asp, php etc.)
Other syndication alternatives to
RSS and iframe also greatly
appreciated.
