Displaying RSS Feeds on
Your Web Page
Sanjay Johari
RSS feeds have made it very convenient to syndicate
information from various sources. Most of websites and services that publish
fresh content, such as ezines, press release, new agencies, blogs make their
content available thru RSS feeds. As new content is published the RSS feed gets
updated automatically.
Adding RSS feeds to web pages has many advantages. Let
us say you have added RSS feeds from a popular ezine on one of your web pages.
• The content of the web page is automatically updated
as the ezine makes new content available via RSS feeds. Every time search engine
spiders crawl your web page they are likely to find the web page updated.
• The visitors to your web site will also find new
content on every visit and they might be tempted to visit your web page more
often.
• You do not have to bother about writing fresh content
as RSS feeds are updated automatically.
Earlier I had written an article on adding RSS feeds to
a web page using java script. While this method makes fresh content available to
the readers, the content of the feed cannot be “read” by search engine spiders.
Therefore the web page does not get the benefit of changing content from the
search engines.
On the other hand php based installation makes it
possible for spiders to notice the changing content of the web page. This
article is a follow-up of my previous article which outlines simple steps to put
RSS feeds on a web page.
For the purpose of this article I have chosen the free
version of software available from CaRP. The software can be downloaded from
this site:
http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/
The instruction manual which comes with the package
gives detailed instructions for installing and running the software. Additional
information is available from the site. While there are several options
available for using the software, I am showing here the simplest steps to load
and run the software:
1. Download the software on your computer. It comes in
a zip file. After unzipping save the available folders and files on your
computer. These files and folders will be available – carp (folder), img
(folder), carpsetup.php, README.html .
2. Upload all the files and folders to the root
directory of your website. This can be done by using FTP. If uploading is done
file by file, ensure that the names of the files and folders, and location of
files in their folders do not change.
3. Create a new mySQL database.
4. Run the setup file carpsetup.php from you web
browser.
5. A new page will be displayed. On this page select
mySQL database option which is easier of the two options given there.
6. Another new page will open in which you have to fill
the details of mySQL database. Click on “Create Database Tables”.
7. The page which opens now will have code which has to
be put on the web page where you want to show RSS feed. The code will be
displayed in a gray box.
8. Within the code there is “setup code”. This setup
code should be pasted into a file called carpconf.php . The file will be
available in carp directory. On the html script of this file locate the line
“//Add configuration code that applies to all themes here” . Just below this
line paste the setup code.
9. Choose a web page where RSS feed has to be
displayed. The file name of the page should have .php extension. If your page
has .html or .htm extension, you can try replacing only the extension with .php
. Normally this should not change the way the page appears in a web browser. If
you encounter any problem you could make a new web page with .php extension.
10. At appropriate location of the web page, where you
want RSS feed to be displayed, paste the code in the html script of the page.
From there you can remove the setup code. It is not required to be added to all
pages once it has been added to carpconf.php page in step 8 above.
11. If you now open your web page in the web browser it
will start showing the RSS feed which comes along with the package. For changing
this to RSS feed of your choice you will need to make changes in the code you
have entered in step 10. In the code there is a URL after CarpCasheShow. Change
this URL with the URL of RSS feed you wish to display.
Now the web page will display the RSS feed of your
choice. You can choose to display more feeds on the same page or have separate
pages for RSS feeds for different sources.
You can see this page on my website on which RSS feed
has been added using exactly the steps shown here.

You can see some more pages from the links on left
column of this page.
I have tried to make the process easy to follow. You
can always refer to more detailed instructions which come with the package. Take
advantage of the free content available and use them to boost your page
positioning and traffic to your website.
