How to display RSS feeds on your website.
This article is intended as a guide for webmasters who want to display automatically updated content on their website in
form of RSS feeds. In this article I will cover 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 web on your website.
RSS to Javascript.
By far easiest method is to use client side javascript to parse and display headlines on your site. To achieve this all you need to do is cut and paste some HTML or javascript code into web page where you want 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 address of 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 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.
