Embed RSS Feeds in 3 Simple Steps

About Feed2JS

The service at https://feed2js.org/ no longer works as this bit of old web code's technology is no longer viable. See more on the death notice blogged at CogDogBlog.

This bit is left as a small bit of a marker for what was here... Code left too at github and a pile of other old blog posts.

Old Stuff

This PHP script once took an RSS feed as a value of src="...." and return a JavaScript file that can be linked remotely from any other web page. Output includes site title, link, and description as well as item site, link, and description with these outouts contolled by extra parameters.

An RSS Feed is a dynamically generated summary of information published on other web sites- so when the published RSS changes, your web site will be automatically changed too. Think of it as a box you define on your web page that is able to update itself, whenever the source of the information changes, your web page does too, without you having to do a single thing to it. .

It is a rather simple technology that allows you, the humble web page designer, to have this content displayed in your own web page, without having to know even how it works.

This service is based on the original site that was developed at the Maricopa Community Colleges back in 2003. RSS was just starting to get popular in 2003, and it seemed like people could use an easier method for incorporating it into their own web sites. If you host your own web site and can download, configure, and install a few PHP files, then you are welcome/encouraged to set up your own instance of Feed2JS.
