RSS Wizard Example #1

This is an example of generating a feed from your own page by inserting HTML comments to identify feed items. 

 

<!-- start feed -->
<table width="968" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="white" id="table2">

<tr>
<td width="10" background="c_left.jpg" align="left">&nbsp;</td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="85">&nbsp;<p>&nbsp;</p>
<br>
<br></td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="613">&nbsp;<h1>RSS Wizard Online Tutorials</h1>
<table border="0" width="100%" id="table5" height="112">
<tr>
<td height="55">
<h2 style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left:20px">
<!-- start item -->
<a href="rss-wizard-example-01.htm">
<font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 9pt; font-weight:400">Example #1</font></a></h2>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left:20px">
<font face="Verdana" color="#383A3B" style="font-size: 9pt"><!-- start description -->This is an
example of generating a feed from your own page by inserting HTML
comments to identify feed items.<!-- end description --></font></p>
<!-- end item -->
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="55">
<h2 style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left:20px">
<!-- start item -->
<a href="rss-wizard-example-02.htm">
<font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 9pt; font-weight:400">Example #2</font></a></h2>
<p style="margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
<font face="Verdana" color="#383A3B" style="font-size: 9pt"><!-- start description -->This is an
example of generating a feed from a page using existing HTML tags on the
page to identify feed items.<!-- end description --></font></p>
<!-- end item -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<br>
<br><p style="margin-left: 20px"><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 9pt"><a href="downloads.htm"><font color="#333333"><img src="b_down.jpg" width="102" height="32" alt="Download NOW!" align="left" border="0"></font></a><font color="#333333"><img src="b_order.jpg" width="102" height="32" alt="Order NOW!" align="left"></font></font></p>

<td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="10" background="c_right.jpg"></td>
</tr>

</table>

 

Comment tags have been included in the HTML to mark the start of the feed items, the start and end of each item, and the start and end of each item description.  (If pages are generated using a template, these tags can usually be included in the template.)  The choice of wording in the comment tags is entirely your own, so if there are existing tags in the right place in your pages, you can use those. 

In the RSS Wizard, type in the following parameters:

HTML File (Step 1 of 5):

/rss-wizard-examples.htm

Start String (Step 2 of 5):

<!-- start feed -->

Start Item String (Step 2 of 5):

<!-- start item -->

End Item String (Step 2 of 5):

<!-- end item -->

Start Description String (Step 2 of 5):

<!-- start description -->

End Description String (Step 2 of 5):

<!-- end description -->

 

Note that in this example the "Start String" could be left blank, because there are no other matches on the page to the "Start Item String" and "End Item String".  Also, the "Start Description String" and "End Description String" could also be left blank, because RSS Wizard will automatically split each item into a Title and Description based on the page layout.
