Adding RSS feed to website

[satimis]

Hi folks,


I'm now searching the whole World to find an answer to clarify my doubt.


I have a website running on my own server. I'm trying to add news to my site via existing RSS feed. Whether I need to install an aggregator such as "Straw/ListGarden/etc."? OR just sign a contract and download a RSS reader which will parse and format the XML feed for me? There are hundreds of those RSS readers on Internet. I can't sign contract with all of them. How to make my selection?


If I need an aggregator such as "Straw" do I need installing GNOME to running it? Do I still need to download a RSS reader.


Please advise. TIA

Are you talking about consuming feeds from other sites or publishing your
own feed for others to consume?

Displaying feeds.
You will need something (a php script fpr example) to visit the feeds the
parse the data. Have a look at PHP Classes, there is bound to be something
there that will (at least almost) fit your needs.

Publishing Feed
It is probably easier to write your own script to format your data in RSS /
Atom standards and write it to the response. However, if you look at PHP
Classes, I'll bet there is something there to do this to ;P

Thanks for your advice.


I'm prepared publishing feed from other websites but have no idea how to start. On Internet browsing I discovered some websites mentioning "sign the contract and you'll have news publishing on your website in 5 minutes". I hesitate whether it would be so easy. Just signing the contract and providing them email address and my website URL then I'm done.

I built my website on HTML, CSS and Javascript. I have text scroller/marquee running on the website built on javascript modified on Cross Browser marquee;
Dynamic Drive DHTML Scripts- Cross Browser marquee

and Cross Browser marquee II;
Dynamic Drive DHTML Scripts- Cross Browser marquee II

I don't know whether I can make use of them to run news. If YES, can you advise how to integrate them to the RSS feed websites? TIA
