A friend is looking at how to have his blog posts or snippets of the posts from his blog show up on his homepage which is a static html page.
I have found one way of doing this which involves the RSS feed. Most people use FeedBurner to maintain their RSS feed because it offers some many thing for customizing and promoting you feed. If you do not already use FeedBurner I suggest you check it out. It is very simple to set up, it is run by Google so you can use your Google account for it. Then all you have to do is set up a new feed by entering in your old one.
Once you have done that you want to click on the Publicize and then BuzzBoost, which is built into the feedburner site. BuzzBoost is the tool used to publish your posts on to your static page. You can change the settings to however you like and then activate or save it. It will then give you the code you need to use on your HTML page for the posts to show up.
Example:
The script can be configure by you to the shape desired to fit where ever you need it to. I have the same script in both, above and in the sidebar(wont be in the sidebar forever)
That’s it, simple right? You are also able to delete the FeedBurner logo by simply taking it out of the script.
That looks pretty much exactly what I’m trying to accomplish. I’ll give it a whirl! Thanks for digging into it…
