How to embed an RSS Feed into your website.

There are many ways to do this. Below is one of the best, easiest and fastest methods.


First let's look at how to create your own blog, enable it to be subscribed to and then inserting a feed to it into your own website. This is useful for a news page, events page or any kind of updates page you like. An example of how this works is on our homepage. Once you see how it works, you will begin to see different ways you can use it for how you need. The best thing about all of this is that it is all free.


The second part is how to embed someone else's blog or feed into one of your webpages. This is good for traffic to your site. One of the details below refers to converting the feed into HTML. HTML is read by search engines, so the content will be spidered by the search engines, some codes cannot be read by search engines. When using this method, make sure to embed a very popular blog that is very relevent to your visitors.


Making your own blog and embedding it into your own site

1. Go to Blogger, sign up and make a blog. Blogger is intuitive and self-explanatory. It is easy to navigate and they plenty of information and help on the site. For your first time, choose the Minima template, it is one of the most basic templates and not too fancy.
After your blog is created, you will end up with an address for your blog, you will see it when you have finished creating your blog.
2. Go to Feedburner, sign up and burn the feed. “Burn the feed” means taking your address of your newly-created blog and plugging it into the Feedburner system. By doing so, it will create script version of the blog that will help connect it to websites.
Feedburner has a tool that will convert the feed into HTML instead of using a Javascript. This is better for search engines. The tool is called Buzzboost
Once your feed is burned, and you are logged in, click on “My Feeds”, then click on “Publicize” tab, then look for the Buzzboost in the “Services” column on the left hand side of the page.
Buzzboost will create HTML code that you will copy and paste anywhere you want  into your site.

That’s it.


Inserting another blog into your own website
To insert someone else’s blog into your site, you just skip step one and go right into Feedburner. Get the address of the blog you like, plug it into feedburner just like you did for yours, then the steps are the same, get your HTML and post it anywhere on your site, anywhere on any page. You can even put it into a table.
