To include an RSS feed on your site you need to take the feed source and convert it to display on your site. Magpie is a PHP based open source solution that we've recommended [webmasterworld.com] in the past. If that's too complicated for your needs then the simpler approach has been to use 3rd party javascript. You can include a small snippet of javascript to your site and your feeds will be displayed that way. If you're looking for a good list of software options for RSS display I've found a pretty good list of them on the RSS Specifications [rss-specifications.com] site.

Ok, that's what I was afraid of. Ugh, I really need to learn php. I'll see if I can figure out the magpie. Thanks for the response and the link!

IMO The easiest way to display RSS in your website is to use RSS2HTML a free PHP script. This means that you can retain the complete control of the HTML layout (using templates) and make it match your existing design. Additionally using PHP rather than JavaScript will mean that search engine spiders can "spider" the contents of the RSS feeds. HTH [edited by: bill at 9:32 am (utc) on Feb. 5, 2009]

I use CARP... the free version does almost everything you need and offers powerful configuration options. The software author sends out really idiotic rubbish to his mailing list though.

>author sends out really idiotic rubbish You noticed that, too? Other than that, Carp is good.
