RSS News Feed?

[jhansen]

Hi,

How does one add Google/Yahoo RSS news feed to a site? I see a lot of sites with this sort of thing (ex: http://demfranchizeboyz.info/ ), but I don't know how to implement it. I've searched Google a bit about the subject before with little success. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Search for 'rss to html'

You can find a few solutions at hotscripts.com.

You don't need that stuff - this will do it - just be sure to change the keywords for what news you want displayed where it says "KEYWORD". It is there twice.

Put that where you want the news to display - change whatever page you are making to yourpage.PHP and that's it. The website you highlighted is using something similar.

Enjoy!
