RSSgenr8: HTML to RSS Converter
|
This form takes your web page and turns it into RSS 0.92.
RSSgenr8 is a hosted HTML to RSS Scraper Tool which dynamically
generates a RSS feed from a HTML web page.
Changes to the web page are then automatically reflected in the
RSS feed.
RSSgenr8 is based on
RSSify from VoidStar.com but is
much
modified.
Acknowledgements also to Aaron Swartz who came up with the idea
and the first
implementation.
- Put <span class="rss-item"> ... </span> round each item in
your page.
In Blogger you'd do this by going to your template in blogger
and changing
<$BlogItemBody$> to <span
class="rss-item"><$BlogItemBody$></span>
And then publish something to re-create the page with the new
template
- Then put the URL of your new and modified page into the form below.
- Check that what you get back looks like RSS.
- Now you can make a link to this file like
"http://www.xmlhub.com/rssgenr8.php?pageurl=your_web_page_url"
- Finally add a link to it on your web page, using something like the
XML image below.
- (As a condition of use, we ask you to show a visible HTML link to
www.xmlhub.com on your site.)
