Getting RSS into html websites

LD · 2009-06-18, 07:50 PM

I've seen this come up a few times here, but it always leaves me with lots of questions.

What to use?
Should I avoid Java?
What's best for search engine spiders?
Can Blog Automator do it?

Probably more I can't think of right now.

I tried

http://www.rss2html.com/

some time ago, and the pages were super slow loading...any tips, advice, etc?

Thanks!

Blog Automator does it very nicely and is what I'm using on my shemale blog. You can use it on up to three blogs without paying for it.

I wasn't real clear, sorry, but what I mean is on a regular static website, not a blog, I want to bring in content from an rss feed.

That is what I'm using to pull the latest post from my personal blog on this page and it seems to work just fine although I am only pulling in one post each day.

Hmmm, I use RSS2HTML quite a bit and never noticed an unacceptable load time but then again I rarely use the whole feed.

But if thats not working for you, the only other one I know of is CARP Evolution. I think the have a free version, just not sure

Simplepie - But imo, it aint especially simple... but well worth wrapping your head around...

Use scary rss parser to build the html and then have it write that html into a template html page that replaces the page you have the rss in.

scary rss parser will build the html and cache it, but you're gonna have to hack in some php to make it write to a template instead of a cachefile.

The best thing to do is use htaccess in that directory to make html files parse php and just add it with php.

No wait. Just use scary rss parser to build the web page with the rss, then use SSI includes to include it in your html page. You'll still have to enable SSI for HTML files with htaccess though.

Probably should just enable the SSI/PHP for a selected directory only to cut server loads a bit.

I must be doing something wrong with http://www.rss2html.com/ . It brings the whole feed in, I just want one post. I'll read over the docs again...

EDIT: just saw the $MAXITEMS parameter...this is looking better now, thanks for the help...
