By Ronald Northrip. Source: webreference.com RSS — Really Simple Syndication — is about sharing content with new audiences. Many Web sites create RSS feeds so that their audiences can get updates using their favorite Aggregators (like NetNewsWire). Other Web sites collect that content and republish it in new venues, to new audiences or in a different medium. There are basically two different scenarios for republishing RSS content on a Web page. First, if you have a feed you may want to provide it in HTML as well for people in your audience who aren’t subscribed. Second, you might want to replay content from someone else’s feed so that you can keep your audience up-to-date on hot topics across the internet (RSS publishers are OK with this — just remember to attribute the content to them). This tutorial will show you how to replay feed content in your Web pages with RSS Replay — a Dreamweaver extension I created. What You’ll Need First you’ll need to download and install the RSS Replay extension. You can get the extension from the RNSoft website at http://www.rnsoft.com/en/products/rssreplay/ You install RSS Replay using the Extension Manager application that came with your copy of Dreamweaver. All you should have to do is double-click the MXP file that you downloaded and Extension Manager should launch and ask you if it’s OK to install. You may need to restart Dreamweaver after installing the extension but you don’t need to restart your computer. Second, I’ve written an example file that you’ll want to use so download it from the RNSoft website as well http://www.rnsoft.com/en/products/rssreplay/content/tutorial/RRPTutorialWebRef.zip Once you’ve downloaded the example file and unzipped it you’ll have a directory called “RRPTutorialWebRef.” This is the root directory for a Web site in Dreamweaver. The next step is to launch Dreamweaver and set up a Web site with “RRPTutorialWebRef” as the local root. Replaying the WebReference Feed As an example, let’s say you’ve got this Web site about building Web sites and you want to replay headlines from WebReference. In order to do this you’ll need to place and configure an RSS Replay element.
