=> Change the News Feed Source via a Configuration script.
=> Allows Caching of the RSS Feeds.

Simple Installation:

1. Download all the files to a single location in your web server.

2. To Use, include this small snippet in the portion of the HTML file that you would like the news feed to appear:

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="http://yourdomain.com/instantfeedreader.php"></SCRIPT>

3. Open up instantfeedreader.confic.inc.php  and change the location of the news feed URL to your desired one.


MULTIPLE News Feeds OPTION ONE :

This is for those who wants to display specific news feeds.

You can display MULTIPLE News Feeds on your website if you have a few installations of this in seperate folders.

eg.
/newsfeed1/instantfeedreader.php
/newsfeed2/instantfeedreader.php
/newsfeed3/instantfeedreader.php
/newsfeed4/instantfeedreader.php

And your javascript in your website would look something like

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="http://imtiaztips.co.cc/newsfeed1/instantfeedreader.php"></ SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="http://imtiaztips.co.cc/newsfeed2/instantfeedreader.php"></ SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="http://imtiaztips.co.cc/newsfeed3/instantfeedreader.php"></ SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="http://imtiaztips.co.cc/newsfeed4/instantfeedreader.php"></ SCRIPT>


MULTIPLE News Feeds OPTION TWO :

Leave $sFilename (in the configuration file) as "" to use the URL version
example

In config file
$sFilename = "";

In the javascript
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="http://imtiaztips.co.cc/instantfeedreader/instantfeedreader.php?feed=http://www.imtiaztips.co.cc/feed.xml"></ SCRIPT>

The reasoning behind this is to prevent other people from supplying any feed in the url and use up your precious server resources, if you only want specific news feeds to be read.

So, either supply a filename in the config file, and ENSURE that it is the only feed that you serve

OR, leave the filename blank in the config file, and allow possibly anyone to type in any feed url.


There would not be any technical assistance on this script. However you can pop a question or so to me at my email ( imtiaztips@gmail.com ). It is good to say hi!

Five Fantastic Ways To Automate Content Update

The processes in the World Wide Web are fueled by information.  Users search for it.  Web publishers provide it.  And when you could give the information that people want, then you’re in business.  Whether your online endeavor is based on Pay Per Click (PPC) programs or the sale of digital products, quality content will drive people to your pages.
Indeed, content is your best investment for your online enterprise.  But preparing unique, premium content is often not enough.  You must strive to regularly update your content so that the search engine spiders would constantly crawl through your pages and fetch them for every relevant query.  This is the key to good search engine placement. 

Writing good content is taxing enough.  Having to write the same on a regular basis could be difficult.  Having to write the same on a regular basis for several websites could be hellish.  Surely, there must be an alternative or two which could spare you from having to write your own content to update your website and win the favor of the search engine spiders, right?

Well, here are five fantastic alternatives that not a lot of people are employing.  Knowing them alone could give you the edge over your competitors in the race for good search engine positioning.

1. Try RSS.  RSS, which stands for Real Simple Syndication, is a technology that was first used by news wire services online.  RSS allows users to display specific files every time they are uploaded on a source website.  If website A, for example, generates RSS feeds to announce new articles uploaded to its server, and websites B, C, D and E are subscribed to website A’s RSS feeds, they could display the said feeds on their desktop via an RSS aggregator.  For online marketing purposes, these RSS feeds can also be displayed on your web pages.  All you need is to download some programs that would enable you to do this.  Make sure that you get an RSS-to-HTML reader, so that the RSS feeds you will display on your pages can be readable for the search engine spiders.  Afterwards, all you have to do is to subscribe to an appropriate RSS feed, and every time the source website would post new content, you’ll be able to display the same on your own website.

2. Create your own forum.  Online users normally gravitate towards forums that are dedicated to their own passions.  If your website has an attached forum, you’d be able to invite your visitors to sign up with the same.  They’ll be left to their own devices.  They’ll create threads about matters they are interested with.  They will pots messages to their hearts’ liking.  And you will have a virtual well of constantly updating content, without having to type a single word.

3. Integrate a feedback manager.  If you’re posting articles as content, then you might want to include a feedback system for the same.  This would enable your readers to leave their comments below the said article.  Basically, your article would serve as the catalyst for content that will continuously be added by interested readers who want to share their piece of mind on what you have posted.

4. Run a contest.  Offering a prize for the visitor who submits the most engaging article relevant to the subject of your website, for example, would encourage a lot of people to submit entries that you could use as your own content.  Just remember that your contest rules should include a term which states that submitted entries can be published on your website as a condition to their inclusion in the contest proper.

5. Run a mini-article directory.  Try to visit http://www.ezinearticles.com/ or http://www.goarticles.com/ .  See how these websites ensure for themselves an abundant supply of great content?  Simply follow their model, and implement the same on your website, even if it would be on a downgraded level.
