RSS and how to apply it...

[andysain]

Hey All,

I require an RSS feed/ticker on a site I am building for a client. It needs to display one story at a time.

Has anyone had any experience adding RSS feeds to their site and is their an easy way to do it - if so, what program/code did you use?

I have been reading up on it, I understand how it works etc just need to understand how to apply it!!

Thanks

I'm using a combination of MagpieRSS ( http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/ ) and Jquery on my page- http:www.wileywiggins.com

MagpieRSS is a php rss parser, I just upload the components to my server and then a piece of code on my page calls on it to parse a given rss feed and turn it into a list, then I have jquery and a jquery newsticker plugin I found that automatically turn any list in a specified div into an animated ticker. If you haven't played with jQuery yet, it's an awesome javascript library that lets you do a lot of really powerful things without having to know how to program javascript yourself.
