Embedding recent blog posts

  • Hi

    I want to have an RSS feed embedded on my websites home page which is not directly related to the blog part of site. I have tried a few and they work but am finding them unreliable. Is there a widget that I can install which would then let me paste come code on my homepage to link in to the last few blog posts and put them on my home page and also allow for some customization of colors and such so I can blend it in with home page?

    If so where can I get if not how hard is it to build my own being I know nothing if this is possible is there a page showing instructions to build my own???

    TIA

    That seems to be embedding it on your blog though I want to take my blog and post a short bit on my homepage which is a separate page not associated with the blog itself as we have out own site we just added the blog to the site. And from the write up it asks it you ever wanted to embed an RSS in your blog so that is goign the opposite direction from what I need I need to embed my blogs most recent posts on my home page

    If you burn your feed through Feedburner they make it available in a number of forms. This one seems to address your needs.

    Not sure on this one as I don’t see a website coding for it just the add ons for sites like yahoo and such but not for me to get an HTML or PHP of script code to embed it

    That service is exactly what you are looking for. It gives you code like this

    <script src="https://feeds2.feedburner.com/myblogname?format=sigpro" type="text/javascript" ></script><noscript><p>Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: <a href="https://feeds2.feedburner.com/myblogname"></a><br />Powered by FeedBurner</p> </noscript>

    which you paste into your HTML site.

    First so i know where on the site did you get that as I entered in my blogs URL and it took me into a control panel of sorts but couldn’t find what you just sent?

    Second where it says

    myblogname

    I assume this is from my own blog or does it give you a specific name format for your blog???

    Hi

    when you sign your feed up with Feedburner (now feedburner.google.com )

    you will select a feed name. myblogname was a standin for the feed name.

    The service is called BuzzBoost – it is on the Publicize tab once you are registered.

    Using Google and Feedburner Help to answer your questions is a good practice… thank you

    OK I got it working Thanks!

    Now one quick question as I noticed that the items are right one after the other is there any way to sort of force it to space a little between items as I didn’t seem to see a way if not no worries.

    Hi

    Try adding this to the style sheet of the site you have the feeds embedded in:
    .feedburnerfeedblock li { margin-bottom: 30px; }

    CSS can work magic

    congrats on the successful install – yey

    Thanks for all your help today you got more then one issue resolved for me today =oD

    Now I do assume this will also work to add space once we get 3 items in the list as is a brand new blog so just technically 1 official post at the moment and a temp note that the sites being updated!

    But once we get 3 I assume this will add a space after each blog post on the homepage?
