RSS Feeds

How to Insert a RSS Feed

For this RSS feed we are going to use a free flash based RSS reader, which can be found here: http://www.feedflash.net/.

1. Go to: http://www.feedflash.net/, and enter the URL to your feed, for this example we are using the Office Community RSS Feed: http://myofficelivecommunity.com/discuss/forums/aggregaterss.aspx.

2. After entering the URL and click Flash It you will be taken to a customization page where you can customize the look, size, and color of the RSS feed widget.

3. After you have finished customizing click Update!

4. Next copy the following code below into notepad:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<![CDATA[

]]>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

5. Now copy the code from feedflash, should look something like this:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.feedflash.net/feedflash.swf?bc=#333333&bfc=#adff2f &cc1=#46668D&cc2=#000000&fc1=#FFFFFF&fc2=#FFFFFF &f=45602&date=true&datef=en" height="250" width="200">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.feedflash.net/feedflash.swf?bc=#333333&bfc=#adff2f
&cc1=#46668D&cc2=#000000&fc1=#FFFFFF&fc2=#FFFFFF &f=45602&date=true&datef=en" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>

6. Past the feedflash code into notepad between the <template> tags:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<![CDATA[

]]>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

7. Copy the entire code from notepad and paste it into the custom footer module, removing everything else.
