Blog Integration

[Steve the DJ]

Now before I ask this question please bear in mind the following before responding:

1. I am a Web Design dunce.
2. I can copy and paste HTML but have no access to the core code on my site as it is based on a template provided by my host.

OK, I have a blog that sits on a sub domain that I want to update more often but I would like the entries to also appear within the main website as a "Latest News" kind of feed.

Is there some sort of html code that I can copy and paste into a blank page which will import the blog entries through RSS?

Any help gratefully received!

Told you I'm a dunce... :o

Anything's possible. At the end of the day it's just a string of 0's and 1's arranged in a sequence somewhere.

I've done this in the past with a twitter widget that displays the last 3 tweets you posted, so I'm pretty sure it can be done.

What's the blogging site/software you use? That might help us find a solution.

Again it is provided by the hosting company but it is essentially WordPress, I just access it through my hosting panel and I am limited on themes.

IF your blog can be set to federate articles via RSS then you just need to embed an RSS reader widget on your main website - something like http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/rss perhaps? There's hundreds of them out there.

You can try the process without changing your website by simply viewing the RSS output using a standalone RSS reader or even most mail clients & web browsers.

Thanks I'll take a look.

Now that looks fairly straight forward, I'll give it a whirl. :approve:

If your blog uses WordPress make sure it's updated - see http://www.programmerfish.com/wordpress-security-flaw-reset-admin-password-of-any-blog-without-confirmation/
