How to display RSS feeds on your website

This article is intended as a guide for webmasters who want to display automatically updated content on their website in the form of RSS feeds. In this article, I will cover the easiest method to implement using javascript to display RSS on websites to create additional dynamic content. This will allow you to display web-syndicated content headlines on your website.

RSS to JavaScript.

By far the easiest method is to use client-side javascript to parse and display headlines on your site. To achieve this, all you need to do is cut and paste HTML or javascript code into the web page where you want the RSS feed headlines to display.

To achieve this, there are several sites that offer a free service that will allow you to select a few options to choose your power supply and display format parameters. You will then be presented with javascript code that you can cut and paste onto your website.

Now, before I give you the address of the sites that offer this service for free, there are a few points that I need to clear up with you. Although you will achieve your goal of displaying dynamic content on your site in a few minutes, this method does have some drawbacks.

Javascript is not supported by search engines.

As you may or may not already know, javascript is not visible to search engine spiders. They will not see the RSS feed you have parsed on your site and therefore this will not benefit you if you are doing this to improve your search engine ranking.

You are using a third party service.

The second potential drawback is that even though the javascript is on your site, it’s actually calling a script on another server. This could lead to a couple of potential problems. If the server is busy, it will mean that the news feed will take longer to display on your site. The other point is that if the third party server crashes or goes away, your feed will not display at all.

In short, there are some downsides, but if you don’t code and want some fonts on your site quickly, then this is the way to go. Ok now you understand what is involved, here are the links to the sites that provide free RSS to javascript service. All you need to do is follow the instructions on the site.
