RSS
(RDF Site Summary - formerly called Rich Site Summary or Really Simple
Syndication) is a method of displaying news or other Web content that
is available for "feeding" (distribution or syndication)
from an online publisher to Web users. RSS is an XML
format for sharing content among different Web sites such as news
items, popular blogs, or bulletins. Originally
developed by Netscape
for its browser's Netcenter channels, the RSS specification is now
available for anyone to use.
Aplus.Net
offers RSS Feed Reader tool in the Control Panel.
The tool generates automatically the HTML code you have to include in
your web pages in order to display an RSS feed from a specific RSS
file. You need only to know the URL of the RSS file. Usually, the sites
supplying an RSS feed have a red/orange “RSS”
button at their homepages. Click on this button to obtain the specific
URL.
Here
is how you can include RSS content on your web pages using the
Aplus.Net Control Panel:
- Start
by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net
using your Registration Number and Customer
Password.
- Click
on Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
- Next,
select Hosted Domains and click on Manage
Hosted Domains.
- Select
the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
- Click
on the Design tab.
- Click
the RSS Feed Reader icon.
- Enter
in the Add RSS URL text field the URL of the RSS
file which you want to read from and click the Add button.
Note:
You may add up to five URL’s.
- Choose
whether or not to display a short description on each RSS item using
the respective Show / Do not show radio-buttons.
- Select
the number of RSS items to be displayed using the respective drop-down
menu.
- Select
background color for the RSS items using the respective drop-down menu.
- Select
the font color using the respective drop-down menu.
- Now,
you have two options:
- You
can place automatically the HTML code for the RSS Feed Reader. Click
the Import RSS Feed Reader button, select an
existing web page, and then click on a desired location to insert the
tool. Click Save from the top navigation to
finish.
NOTE:
Please have in mind that with this option you will have limited design
capabilities, given the fact that the web page you have chosen already
has content.
- Or,
click the Grab html code button to copy to
clipboard the required HTML code. You may use this code for of your all
web pages you wish to have RSS content on. Once you have saved the HTML
code into a certain website file, you will begin to receive RSS content
from the specified source.
NOTE:
With this option, you will be able to manually import the HTML code,
thus obtaining full control over the design of your web page.
