I thought this would be useful. Does anybody else use this or someting similar?
http://jade.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/f...ex.php?s=build I was looking for ways to get content to my web pages, this might be it. I was specifically looking for a rss feed that would automatically upate mortgage rates, but had trouble finding one. |

Hi
I would recommend AGAINST using any third party utilities for the following reasons
By using an RSS feed (which is an excellent idea) you're already tying your site to another site - you don't want to make it worse. Sarah |

I agree with Sarah. Magpie RSS is great, easy to setup and works flawlessly.

I have a demo at http://sarahk.pcpropertymanager.com/muck/rsstest.php
which displays feeds from http://www.propertytalk.co.nz which is a news and forum site for property investors. The idea of the feed is that realtors and mortgage brokers can have "news" on their sites. Sarah |

I like it. I haven't read through the magpie site too much but I'm guessing that install is pretty straightforward? You don't need a db do you? I don't want to have to burn one if I don't have to.

flip, what platform is your webserver running on? What type of extensions does your webserver use?

I have one site on LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) right now and I'm building two others that are on IIS6 for the time being.

Well since you are running IIS 6, I will assume you are running ASP.NET extensions? If so, it is really quite simple to write a RSS parser with the built in XML classes of .NET. If you would like I can provide you some example code, but I am not sure that you are running C# or .NET.
