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.)
