Setting Up RSS Feeds in Xara Designr

RSS Feeds
Does anyone know how to do this?

[Boy]

Google the following and you may find your answer: rss feed this site:www.talkgraphics.com/

There is a WebRSS widget in the Design Gallery > Page Elements & Widgets > Other Widgets folder that might be what you are looking for.

I have not used this widget but if it is similar to other widgets there is one important step that is not clear. When the widget generates some code, you need to highlight the code and Copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl c), then press Insert.

I spent a relatively short time with Google RSS API: http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/dynamicfeed/, and was able to handcraft a very useful presentation.

One example for a box 455 x 410 px is:

Box body placeholder code:

<div id="content">
    <span style="color:#676767;font-size:11px;margin:10px;padding:4px;">Loading...</span>
  </div>

Box head placeholder code:

    <script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script>


    <!-- Dynamic Feed Control and Stylesheet -->
    <script src="http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/dynamicfeed/gfdynamicfeedcontrol.js"
            type="text/javascript"></script>
    <style type="text/css">
      @import url("http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/dynamicfeed/gfdynamicfeedcontrol.css");
    </style>


    <script type="text/javascript">
    /*
    *  How to use the Dynamic Feed Control, which has pretty UI already made for you!

    */


    google.load('feeds', '1');


    function OnLoad() {
      var feeds = [
        {
          title: 'Recent Posts',
          url: 'http://stourpaine.info/matters/feed/'
        },
        {
          title: 'Recent Comments',
          url: 'http://stourpaine.info/matters/comments/feed/'
        }
      ];


      var options = {
        stacked : true,
        horizontal : false,
        title : "Stourpaine Matters",
        numResults : 6
      };


      new GFdynamicFeedControl(feeds, 'content', options);
      document.getElementById('content').style.width = "400px";
    }


    google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);
    </script>

Get this working first before changing anything. Then read the API detail.
Finally, change the "stourpaine" site () detail to your RSS Feed.

I find it allows me to link a Wordpress site that I have open to contributors and the main site that I publish to have a dynamic presentation through the many RSS Feeds in the website: http://www.stourpaine.info/
