How to publish, freely and without ads, a RSS feed on your blog

Use Feed2Js services

 

 

 

Yesterday I talked about how del.icio.us was inventive and genial. I talked on how and why I use it. But I had a problem: it was to publish the content of it on my blog. Radio Userland didn't permit such a thing; the system is not made to refresh content if the Radio software isn't running. So I had a problem. I searched and tested many solutions but no one was what I needed. I needed a simple, ease and reliable way to post a RSS feed onto my blog with a layout that fit in it.

 

I finally found what I needed. Feed2JS is a project of the Maricopa Community Colleges. What's Feed2JS? This is a way to publish a RSS feed on your blog using JavaScript. How it work? You need to generate your feed's code on their website. After you have to cut and paste the generated code on your webpage and it's done. After, at each hour, their servers will scan your feed and refresh it with his new content. It's free, it takes 2 minutes to implement and it's without ads. You can't really find a better service.

 

You also can create your own style for the feed's box. It use CSS and you can find style examples there. The only thing you have to do is to generate the CSS code and put it at the top of the page where the feed will be displayed.

 

If you have access to your own server that run a PHP Interpreter then you can download the source code of Feed2JS, modify it, and run it on you server.

 

It's really a good publishing tool for you blog and it's the best I found around. Try it, you have nothing to lose.

 

Good publishing.
