moving messages feedreader

note Friday 12th May 2006. Our source feed now validates, but we have not ironed out a glitch whereby snippets of code are showing, causing the reader to expand across the page. Work is ongoing. Scroll down to see.

Now any site can display a feed of real live spare van space offers!

This information is fed from our message board, and by pasting a simple code like this...

<script language=javascript src="http://www.rssfeedreader.com/rss3/rss.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2FNewMessagesAddedToMessageBoardComcode230258&newpage=1&chead=1&atl=1&desc=1&owncss=&eleminate=&auth=1&dts=1&width=150&max=4&tlen=0&rnd=&bt=2&bs=Double&nmb=&ntb=&naf=&nst=&nwd=0&nht=0&dlen=0&lstyle=4&lc=Blue&bg=White&bc=%23FF9900&spc=1&ims=&tc=&ts=10&tfont=Verdana,+Arial,+Sans-serif"></script>

...onto any site like a specialist student estate agent, or student union, 'live' (updated daily) details of part-loads can be distributed around the country

The feed can be generated in PHP which is html based, and can be read by search engines - a very important aspect, BUT it means your site's server will need to be reconfigured.

Alternatively, the feed can be generated in JAVA, like my (working) example above. This has the advantage of being a simple cut and paste.

I recommend that if you wish to display our moving messages feed for FREE.. go to

rssfeedreader

This feedreader is free ...as long as you display the unobtrusive ads at the bottom.

The code for my feed which you enter into their code generator is

http://feeds.feedburner.com/NewMessagesAddedToMessageBoardComcode230258

The rssfeedreader generator allows you to reconfigure the size appearance, and some functions of the feed (example: The number of messages displayed)to fit in with your site.
