How to use other peoples' RSS feeds as content

[JenC]

I have my own feed but someone is telling me that I can use other peoples' RSS feeds as content. How do I do this?

It will depend on your blogging software on how you do this.

For some it's as easy as inserting a Tag with the URL for the RSS Feed you want to use.

For others you need a plugin

And for others you need some 3rd party software...

So... What software are you using?

I'm also intrested in figuring out how to use RSS feeds in my sites. I have one feed myself; however, I will be adding new feeds shortly. (I use word press)

Basically I would like to store the text in an XML file and use a JavaScript (php if I must) to call the text, images, etc, into html files. Some on my server and some on other servers. If anyone has any ideas about doing it I’m all ears!

I'm using Word Press.....I figured out it's as simple as inserting their XML into my "post" field.

Hi Jen
This is one solution http://rssfeedreader.com/
I've been playing with a combination of RSS Feeds, E-mail, MyYahoo and MSN for automaticly adding content, I still don't have all the bugs worked out but I'm getting there

For Pivot users go to the Pivot Help files and look at the Tags section,

Then look for this tag: [[rss]] and you'll have what you need.

hey bloggers, im intereted in getting rss feeds as content that gets placed on my pages as html so the se spiders read it too. What's a good php based script that would do this. Or is there easier ways? Its not for a blog site.

how does the html on the page get written and rewritten? do i need to use cron jobs or is it automatic every time the rss content changes?

been searching google for the past few hours and even tried to install a script (carp) but i kept getting errors on install. |banghead|

I've actually been learning what you can do with XML/RSS feeds, and different ways to use them in sites. If anyone is intrested, I wrote an article about XML/RSS for Kblogger called XML, it’s not just for blogs anymore (http://kblogger.com/blog/index.php/weblog/C72/).

Hope it helps you guys and it's ok to post it here. :)
