Are there any cool ways of adding the content to my website?:

Why, yes there are… Feel free to use any of the methods below!

 

 

Flash

You can use Flash if you want different way to represent your digest

Using Flash you can include a feed digest on any HTML page, as long as you have the ability to edit the HTML directly. Find where in the HTML layout you want the digest to appear, and then paste in this code:

<object classid=”clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″ codebase=”http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0″ width=”374″ height=”342″ id=”fl6″ align=”middle”> <param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”sameDomain” /> <param name=”movie” value=”http://media.feeddigest.com/flash/fl6.swf” /> <param name=”FlashVars” value=”seturl=XMZSYYQLY8″ /> <param name=”quality” value=”high” /> <param name=”bgcolor” value=”#ffffff” /> <embed src=”http://media.feeddigest.com/flash/fl6.swf” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#ffffff” FlashVars=”seturl=XMZSYYQLY8″ width=”374″ height=”342″ name=”fl6″ align=”middle” allowScriptAccess=”sameDomain” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” />

Pros: Can include on any HTML page. Works fine. Users see digest content okay. Ideal for novices.
Cons:Possible character encoding issues in complex multi-language situations.

 

 

JavaScript

Use JavaScript if you are a beginner or want the easiest method.

Using JavaScript you can include a feed digest on any HTML page, as long as you have the ability to edit the HTML directly. Find where in the HTML layout you want the digest to appear, and then paste in this code:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/XMZSYYQLY8.js”><noscript><a href=”http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/XMZSYYQLY8.html”>Click for “DU PhotoBlogs”.</a> Powered by <a href=”http://www.feeddigest.com/”>RSS Feed Digest</a></noscript></script>

Pros: Can include on any HTML page. Works fine. Users see digest content okay. Ideal for novices.
Cons: Not the fastest method. Digest text is not part of the page content, so search robots will not see it. Possible character encoding issues in complex multi-language situations.

 

 

PHP Include (’include’ method)

If you have PHP support on your server, you can use the following code to include a feed digest directly into your page’s source code:

<?php
include (”http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/XMZSYYQLY8.html”);
?>

Pros: Fast. Works well with complex multi-language and character encoding situations.
Cons: Requires PHP pages to be used, or a .htaccess workaround for Apache. Some hosts do not support ‘include’ anymore (such as GoDaddy).

 

PDF

You can include PDF to your HTML code

Note that you can change width and height parameters of <div> and <embed> tags to your needs.

<div style=”width:800;height:600;”><EMBED src=”http://fd2005.feeddigest.com/XMZSYYQLY8.pdf” width=”800″ height=”600″ href=”http://fd2005.feeddigest.com/XMZSYYQLY8.pdf”></EMBED><div class=”fdpoweredby” style=”text-align: right;”><a href=”http://www.feeddigest.com”><img src=”http://media.feeddigest.com/fdimageXMZSYYQLY8.gif” alt=”Provided by feeddigest.com” border=”0″></a></div></div>
