I've been very pleased to find a site which gives you scripts for
displaying feeds using javascript. They even let you run the scripts from their own site. I wanted to tweak them so I copied them and run them off our own site. You've got quite a few options when you call the scripts, but I wanted to do a couple more tweaks:
- Images with relative URLs in the feed (though not invalid, but not advised) needed the domain adding to the start.
- Displaying the first paragraph of the feed, as the feed is normally full text.
The code is very clear and those were fairly easy changes to drop in.
Never used javascript before, but if it's easy I might try it for our site. Seems to work faster than Feedburner's Buzzboost which we use at the moment and takes a while to load...
