I have my ownwebsite, and would like to fill some contents onto the website using RSS feeds from other websites. I know you need to use a RSS feed reader, but where do you put the XML codes? I tried to cut and paste the XML codes onto my webpage, it did not work. If that has to be on the webserver, what extension should I use? Newsgater says use the following to display, http://www.newsgator.com/ngs/subscriber/subext.aspx?url=feed_URL, it would then display Newsgator user login, how do I bypass that, so the readers who goto my webpage would just be able to read the news or the content?

Hi Vivien,

Parsing RSS on your website usually requires a server-side scripting language such as PHP, Perl, ASP or ColdFusion. Do you know if your web hosting supports any of these or what platform (Linux or Windows usually) you're on?

I should note that there are many RSS to JavaScript (http://www.google.com/search?q=rss+to+javascript) services available, although these are run off a third-party site and therefore rely on that website's uptime and how much you trust the provider to not pollute your feed with adverts or spam.

:cool:
