Display RSS feed on HTML page?

What's the best way to incorporate an RSS feed into a custom HTML page?





P.S.: Not looking for answers like Bloglines. I know HTML and want to pull the feeds into my own web page and display as one combined feed. Thanks!

Display RSS feed on HTML page?
RSS feeds are basically XML data on your web site.


There are various standards floating around.


If you know how to format the XML templated pages, you can essentially publish this data to a folder on your web site.


I have done this myself in the past, but it is laborious to do by hand - especially because RSS feeds get updated regularly with new content.





What you may be looking for is RSS Editor/Publishing tools.





Below are a few resources to give you some ideas:
Reply:It sounds like you want to display an RSS feed within your HTML website. The easiest/best way to do this 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.
