Hello everyone,
Recently I've been struggling with the following:
On my website, I collect news articles. What I want, is to display links to
relevant articles in my website underneath each news article I create based
on keywords that match. For instance
**Example of Article:
Microsoft Announces Frontpage will be excluded from Future Office Suites
MS Frontpage will not be featured in the next release of Office. Rather, the
upcoming versions of Frontpage will be sold individually. Microsoft claims
the new version of Frontpage offers extensive new abilities. END OF ARTICLE
-Relevant Link1 : 04/12/2006 Microsoft pushes back release date of Windows
VISTA
-Relevant Link2 : 04/01/2006 Frontpage 2003 patch released**

I have been trying to accomplish this, seemingly simple, feature with RSS.
Admitting the fact that I'm a dummy when it comes to programming and XML, I
can't seem to get close to achieving any result. I find it very confusing and
increasingly frustrating because I can't believe something like this is so
difficult to do.
However, I don't want to give up on this because my website really needs
functionability like this. The amount of information published on my website
grows larger with each day and the transparancy is suffering more and more.

Please, if anyone can help me with this, I will be infinately gratefull.

Dear Stefan,
I had a look at the website, but still I'm lost. Maybe I looked at the wrong
examples but I didn't see anything that was similar to what I want. I don't
want to create an RSS feed that people can subscribe to, nor do I want to
feature feeds from third parties on my website. I just want to have pages in
my website list other pages in my website that contain similar content.

I see so many examples of this on other websites and it would be a great
addition to mine.

If you like, could you please point out an example of the code I need to
use, either on the website you mentioned or at a different location? I have
read the turorials, I've learned what RSS is and I've built a macro in
FP2003. Naturally it doesn't work at all. But since I don't know what codes I
need to use, what (if any) databases or macro to build, I can't get a sigle
clue on where to even begin. I'm sure I'm missing some basic logic but what
is a totaly seperate question.

Many thanks,

Alf

For a simple RSS feed, using any RSS URL, and javascript go here.

All you do is enter the full URL to the RSS feed and it generates the
Javascript which you cut and paste into your site.
