This article tells you how to easily integrate GFF stories on your own web page - all free



By Martin Joergensen

Nerd alert!
This article has very little to do with fly fishing.
It is primarily aimed at nerds and webmasters.
You can now integrate GFF's top stories into your own site—and we welcome you to do it!
NEW: We now deliver our weblog as an RSS feed too!

  • It is automatically updated when we update!
  • It is easy!
  • It is absolutely free!
We provide GFF top stories as an RSS feed - also known as a web feed.

This is a standardized format, which can be read by several stand alone programs or by programs integrated into web sites

To integrate it into your own site, you will need such a small program. Luckily that is not difficult. You need not be able to program yourself as long as you can master a bit of HTML or use a web page editor such as FrontPage, GoLive, DreamWeaver or one of the many other web editing programs available. The excellent site RSS-to-JavaScript.com provides the rest for you.

You have two choices:

  1. copy and paste the following bit of JavaScript code into your HTML document exactly where you want the GFF headlines and links to appear. This will dynamically download the most recent headlines and put the text and links on your page:

    Article feed:

    <script language="JavaScript" src="http://convert.rss-to-javascript.com/?desc=1&src=http%3A%2F%2Fglobalflyfisher.com%2Frss%2F">
    </script>

    Weblog feed:

    <script language="JavaScript" src="http://convert.rss-to-javascript.com/?desc=1&src=http%3A%2F%2Fglobalflyfisher.com%2Fblog%2Frss%2F">
    </script>

  2. You may also select to create your own script to suit your own needs and wishes. A script will be created especially for your page. Copy the adddress below:

    http://globalflyfisher.com/rss/

    and paste it into the form on this page RSS-to-JavaScript.com. It provides some options regarding which elements you get in your page, colors, font selection and a few more things.

These are actual examples of what it can look like when integrated into your page

This is the GFF weblog RSS - Reports from Blog Creek

The three above examples are done with the following code:
1
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://convert.rss-to-javascript.com/?desc=1&src=http%3A%2F%2Fglobalflyfisher.com%2Frss%2Fglobalflyfisher.xml"> </script>
2
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://convert.rss-to-javascript.com/?desc=1&date=1&font=Verdana&fgcolor=006666&src=http%3A%2F%2Fglobalflyfisher.com%2Frss%2F"> </script>
3
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://convert.rss-to-javascript.com/?desc=1&date=1&font=Times&src=http%3A%2F%2Fglobalflyfisher.com%2Fblog%2Frss%2Fglobalflyfisher.xml"> </script>

There will be many options, which you can choose from the form page with RSS-to-JavaScript.

Good luck with the project!

PS: as this technology relies on an outside service - RSS-to-JavaScript.com - we unfortunately cannot put up any guarantee for the service using this exact method. We will of course keep on providing the feed itself, which comes from our system, but other means may over time become necesarry to integrate it into your page if RSS-to-JavaScript.com should stop working.
