Web Publishing - Embedding News Feeds

This page provides an overview of the RSS process, and some examples of
how you can apply the RSS feed from your school news page.

Embedding News Feeds

Once you have generated an RSS feed from your school web site, you can do all sorts of interesting things with that feed (or with someone else's feed), to make it more accessible to different audiences.

This is particularly relevant when considering how a diverse school community (both socially and technologically) can keep in touch with the school news.

Below is an example from this site (wazmac), of how one news page can be presented in an "embedded" format.

Also below are some examples of how other feeds (in this case from a Twitter search) can be embedded in a one web site - a kind of simple aggregator of multiple feeds, in an easy to read format.

(Note: Some school and corporate networks may block some of the content in the feeds below.)

Embedding and Feeding
The examples below use the same RSS feed above, generated from the original wazmac news page - the xml file can be "called" to embed the RSS information within other web pages, or fed to other services. Same information, presented in a different format.....
