How to add a RSS feed into your HTML website.

If you are searching for a way to incorporate an RSS Feed into your static HTML website you have a few options.  One of the easiest ways to get your blog posts to show up on your HTML site home page is to use a free service on the net to generate the code for you.  If you are good enough with code to write your own RSS Includes code then you have no reason to read this post.  If you would like a very easy solution you can do an online search for “Add an RSS Feed to a HTML website”.  You will get a number of results that will work for you.  I would like to add you can use this same method to add an RSS feed to other types of websites.  For instance I am adding a feed at the bottom of this page.

If you visit RSS-Info you will find a very simple to use online form to generate the needed code to add an RSS feed to your website.  Here is a link to RSS-Info’s online code generator. LINK TO RSS-Info Please keep in mind RSS-Info’s website is just one example of a an online code generator.  Be sure to search around and find what works best for your need.

While visiting the RSS-Info website if you want to try out the form just enter the web address to your RSS feed.  Here is an example which is a link to the 509 Media Feed Page.  It will generate an example of what the feed will look like on your website at the bottom of the page.  You can make many changes on the online form to better suit your needs.  Be sure to change the number of posts to have in the feed if you do not want 10 of your most recent posts to show.

The same type form can be used to show recent comments on your blog.  If you want a Twitter Feed on your home page you can use the form to add Twitter updates to your website.  If you want to use my Twitter feed to try out on the form here is the link to my Dan DuBose Twitter RSS Feed.

Here is what the code generated will look like on your site.  Of course the information in the feed will be from blog URL you put in the form.  In the example below I used an RSS Feed from the Graphic Design Blog.  I set the form to 500 pixels wide, to show only 2 most recent entries, and changes the colors to suit my needs.
