RSS from external sites

Is is possible to achieve this... I want to be able to have a page in my iWeb site that will pull RSS feeds from other webpages over the net?

i.e. My News page
RSS Apple Hot News
RSS Engadet
RSS CNN.com

and so forth... I'm sure this is a something that would have to be done with outside of iWeb but just looking for a bit more directions with this.

Thanks to all

This can be done in iWeb. It is as simple as locating the URL for the RSS feed and creating a Hyperlink to the feed in iWeb. This video tutorial may be helpful.

Nice... This is on target.

But is there a way to actually show within my page such as the iWeb Blog or iPod pages, without leaving my site to go to the RSS browser window?

This is what I did so far:

Thank you again for the great tip above.

Try http://iWebFAQ.com/iFrame
where feed:// not http is the location of your framed rss file. Like this:

feed://iWebFAQ.com/rss.xml

( look back at http://iWebFAQ.com/AllAboutRSS/#Alfeo for an example)

Alfeo,

Upon visiting your site it has been noticed you do not have the RSS link available in the address bar of your browser.

Add this tag between the <HEAD> <HEAD/> section of your HTML file to have the RSS subscribe button appear in the address bar of supported browsers.

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href=" http://iWebFAQ.com/rss.xml" />

Where http://iWebFAQ.com/rss.xml is the URL for your rss file.

You can have different RSS links in the address bar for different pages. Just repeat the process for your individual html files of your pages and insert the desired RSS feed URL into the code as necessary.
