By Terry Brazil

This is part one of a two part series. In this part you will learn a little about RSS feeds and how to put an RSS feed on your website or blog using just a simple Java Script. If you would like to see this article in it's entirety please visit the link in the authors bio.

RSS is short for Real Simple Syndication. RSS is one of the best and easiest ways to add content to your blog or web site. In fact all you have to is simply set it up and it takes care of itself. You can say that bloging and site building with RSS is a set it and forget it type of thing.

There are several ways however to put RSS feeds on your web site or blog. Each way you do it has it's advantages and disadvantages. For the purpose of simplicity we will cover the two main ways to add content to your web site via RSS feeds.

Adding RSS Feeds To Your Web Page Using Java Script

Adding RSS feeds to your web page or blog using Java Script is the simplest way to do this. Although it may be the easiest it is not by far the best way if you are looking to make spider food for the search engines.

When adding RSS feeds via Java Script the feeds content is retrieved from the RSS feeds host site. It is then displayed on your page for your visitors to see it. But that is the problem with using Java Scripts to display your RSS feeds. Only your visitor will see it. Search engine spiders will simply see nothing. This means that the search engine thinks nothing has changed but yet your visitor see's something completely different.

To add a RSS feed using Java Script you just need to add this simple piece of code to your web site. To make this simple for everybody we will use a site that will generate our Java Script that we will use to display the RSS feed that we choose on our web page.

To start off lets go to rss-to-javascript dot com. On the left hand side you will see a button labeled RSS/RDF Converter. Go ahead and click on that one. You should now see a new page titled Convert A Feed. Simply go ahead and fill in the fields on the page. You can always go back and mess with all the various settings and republish it on your web site to see how they effect your RSS feed. When you are done go ahead and hit preview and see if works. If it does go ahead and hit Generate Java Script. This will make the code we need to display the RSS feed on your web page.

You should now be on a new page. What we want from this page is the code that will be displayed in the little white box. Go ahead and click on Highlight All and it will highlight the code. Now right click and click copy. Now go ahead and look at the code for your web page. Find out where you would like the RSS feed to be displayed and right click there and hit paste. Now simply go ahead and upload your web page again. You should now see the RSS feed on your web site.

Please go to part 2 of this article to learn how to put RSS feeds on your web site or blog using php2html. This will allow your RSS feed content to get spidered by the search engines. If you are serious about using RSS feeds for content on your site that gets spidered you have to read part two of my RSS feed article.
