#0, Blogless Blog - Creating an RSS Pheed From Your HTML Pages
Posted by Kurt on Feb-13-07 at 12:06 PM
Here's a cool little free GPL script that will let you insert some tags into your html pages to create an RSS feed so you can be syndicated!

It takes basic html knowledge and you should be able to create a feed for your homepage, plus any other pages you choose, in about 30 minutes.

If you know basic html, this is probably easier/faster than installing a blog, if you just want to get your content syndicated.

And it gives you supreme control over your "blog", since you are working in the html.

Of course, you have to FTP, but for some, this is preferable to "one size fits all" layout of blogs and cms.

Again, this isn't my script, but here's a "Mini readME":

=========================================

1. Upload blogless.html and instantrss.php to your "root" directory.

2. Open blogless.html and Change:
blogbomb.com

to:
YourDomain.com

Note: This appears twice in the same URL:
a href="http://www.blogbomb.com/instantrss.php?url=http://www.blogbomb.com/blogless.html

That's it. You now have a "blogless blog". Just edit my "items".

You can probably figure out the tags just from the blogless.html page, but if you need more info, open the instantrss.php script and it has some more info.

You can create more "items" by simply copy/pasting everything in between the item tags:

<!--instantRSS:beginitem-->

<!--instantRSS:enditem-->


=======================================

Let's say you took the time to make your homepage "feedable" and your feed is picked up by News Readers or BlogBombers.

We'll put your feeds on our pages, giving you links back to your content. Those with Readers will have their Reader updated when you update your feeds.

Since your links are syndicated across BlogBomb pages, not only do you have control over your links, you can update your own single "feedable" webpage, and your links will be updated across your syndicated network.

You can download this script and a little html template I made here:
http://blogbomb.com/blogless.zip

I tweaked the tags a little so that the page title and metadescription could be used for both the html page and the xml (feed) page. If you want to use this blogless blog on another html page, I suggest you also copy my structure for the title and metatags.

Pheeds are a two-way street. Sure, BlogBombers are looking for feeds, but everyone should be looking to create and distribute feeds as well.

This just uses basic html knowledge, nothing "fancy":

In response to message #0
it would be interesting to see if a website "pimped" this way is getting the same/different amount of traffic than e.g. a wp blog..
