is there a way to have something like rss...

Is there a way I can have articles of my own refresh every so often on a page sorta like rss IN HTML?

 

You can try this.

Dont know if it is what you are looking for but I believe it could handle the job for you

There is also Z feeder but support for that is distant past

http://zvonnews.sourceforge.net/index.php

Their last post was 2004 the program worked last I used it but as I said support went bye bye

 

I think my host still has to support php for the carp to work right? My host doesn't support php

 

I think you need to switch hosts .. if they cannot support Php, or move you to a server that does .. then its time to switch .. now .. rather then later.

 

Java script can display news generated on a remote server.

They are willing ot switch me BUT I already paid for hosting for a while and don't want to lose that cash... plus the host they will switch me to isn't as good as some others I have seen. PLUS I know their website creator like the back of my hand... and if I switch I am going to have to re learn another system... yuck!

I probably will switch to another host at the end of my host subscription

 

but, for seo purposes this would be useless right? I want to cycle my own articles for seo purposes... I though the bots wouldn't read java... or am I way off?

 

You can manualy write your news.

Plain text file in compliance with rss format, written in notepad...

 

ok... so what would a html scrip look like that would cycle my own articles? Where would I have to put the articles for them to cycle?

 

ok... I went to these links... thanks
so I should be able to place the articles on a page within my onw domain and then set up the rss feed to cycle them? And this would work in html? I'm sorry ifthe questions are a bit beginer but I am learning

 

Does your host give you access to any server-side scripting? Without it, I don't think you are going to have much luck grabbing content from another source and serving it up from your page. Yes, JavaScript can do it, but bots will not see the content (nor will users without JavaScript or with it turned off). If you manually create the RSS/XML, people could use feedreaders to see the content, but a good portion of Internet users still don't know/use RSS.

 

geeze this is crazy! All I want to do is have a spot on my main page that shows clips for articles from my articles page... and have them refresh every so often so it is constaly new content... I can only work with html as of now... I thik I am going to have to switch hosts... soon!
