read rss feeds and display on website

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a question. I'm not really a frontpage developer but was asked to
look into how we can read RSS Feeds and display on a webpage. So my question
is, Is it possible to read lets say a couple of newspapers RSS feeds and
display on a blank Frontpage 2000 page?

If so is there a plug in that I will need for Frontpage to read the rss?
Anyone know of any exmples to do this?

Thanks.

Yes, you just need to insert the RSS feed code provided by the RSS feed publisher in to the HTML
view of the page.

Can you give me an example. For example for new york newday.

I tried putting the Rss in the html of a blank page in frontpage 2000 and
then going to preview to see what I see and it just shows me html. What would
I put where?

The url for their feed seems to be:

http://www.newsday.com/templates/misc/rss.jsp?slug=/news/nationworld/world

and the rss is:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
- <rss version="2.0">

Sorry, I thought that the RSS Feed authors would provide instructions for implementation.

You can try, the following site:
http://www.rss2html.com/
Option 1

FeedForAll has a free PHP script at
http://www.feedforall.com/free-php-script.htm that allows you to display feeds
as HTML. ByteScout also has an ASP script that will do it, I forget the url but
I think that it is in this article:
http://www.rss-specifications.com/displaying-rss-feeds.htm
