If you want to have an RSS feed on your blog or website a very handy tool can be found at RSS Wiz. This page explains clearly how it works. To generate the code which will feed the new content from any RSS website click on the link ‘Get the code’ and on that page fill out the URL of the website, the amount of posts you want generated etc.

Before clicking on the ‘Generate’ button at the bottom choose the language you want the code to genrate, you have the choice between ‘JavaScript, Perl or PHP’. I choose JavaScript.

Select and copy the code generated and paste it in a div or paragraph on your webpage and there you are! Voila!

Note: If you have an external style for your website the font will take on the properties and values specified in your stylesheet and not those designed by RSS Wiz.

Sore point: The HTML code of the RSS feed is designed in tables, OK, i can live with that but the very sore point is that it uses the obsolete ‘font’ element and gives it a ‘class’ ….arghhhhhh , this is not good practise … but until I find a tool that does the same and designs better code I will stick with this free one.

Thanks to RSS Wiz for creating and making this free tool available online.
