RSS is a method that has been used by many webmasters and
publishers to publish information and news online. The readers
then be able to read the information and the news with their RSS
readers. But many webmasters also use RSS feeds from other
webmasters to provide dynamic contents on their own websites.
Usually, in order to provide contents on your website, you have
to copy articles and paste it on your website. Although using
this way you have better control for what you want to show on
your website, generating contents for your website automatically
could save your time.
You can generate dynamic contents using RSS creator software. A
software that I use is Carp (
http://www.geckotribe.com/ ). This
free software is written in PHP and doesn't need complicated
database to set up.
You can install it easily. I have tried to add two or more RSS
feeds from different sources in a webpage without getting
technical problems. Just collect related feeds and put them in a
webpage. Visit any RSS feed directories to collect them.
If you want, you can use both an article and the content from
the feed that is provided by Carp in a web page. Just put the
article on the top of a webpage and put the content from Carp on
the bottom. This could make your webpage more targetted and more
dynamic.
I don't real understand the Google policy of using contents this
way. But just for example, if you want to show RSS feeds from
Google News with the topic about "car repair," you can put the
code like this:
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=car+repair&ie=UTF-8&output=rs
s
If you want to use two RSS feeds in a webpage from different
sources with "car repair" as the topic, you can put the code for
Google News above and then put another feed below it. The code
for another feed could be:
http://rss.topix.net/search/?q=car+repair&xml=1
and your webpage will be updated automatically from two
different sources.
Finally, if in doubt, it is wise if you ask the RSS feed
provider/creator first before you use it. Make sure they allow
you to show their contents on your own website.
Happy trying...
