RSS offers you you a way to include latest industry news on your website. Keep in mind that they will link back to the providing site. (So it's really a way for the news sites to pull in more traffic - and potentially pull visitors away from your site.) |
Finding RSS Feeds
Either way, you need to get the complete address right down to a specific file. It will probably look like these (from the CNN site). http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss - Top Stories http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_tech.rss - Technology Note: Some sites use a slightly different file name (such as http://samplesite.com/latest-news-rss.xml). Others require you to sign up and agree to a Terms of Use page. |
Advanced Techniques - GetHTML Advanced users may want to include RSS feeds using a GetHTML call. This allows it to be used in Frameworks or in the text of almost any of regular page templates. For example this call would automatically insert the following html into your site anywhere it is used: <gethtml data="rss" src="http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss"/>
