Adding rss feeds to you website
Rssinclude.com is offering a free service that collects up the rss feed info from your blog(s) and offers them up as tables in you website.
The concept is to get the URL that your blog outputs to and make sure you include any specific tags or categories you may want…once you choose the payout (single or multiple column, Twitter, Marquis, etc) it will produce either JavaScript or php to insert into you webpage to embed something you see above. The code is just pasted into your webpage…keep in mind that dreamweaver only takes such inserts when you split the display…here’s a ticker feed for all the categories of a blog.
