Bloggers, feed on THIS...

RSS is the shit.

It's probably the hottest acronym to come along since VHS.

For the unfamiliar, RSS is a protocol for providing a continuous, formatted feed of a site's content to a "reader" client. Most blogs have RSS "output" capability built in.

For the Webmaster, it means having a single-point source that could automatically update the content on thousands of pages, whenever you add to or edit the primary site.

For affiliate programs, it means no more having to make your affiliates come to the site for banners, images, or any form of content. Affiliates only need to know what feeds you offer -- think about it, banners, fully-formatted tgp pages, program news, anything you want. It's like POTD on steroids. Your affiliates will feed and feed and feed.

There are a number of different ways to get your RSS feed parsed out to its proper form on a web page. These range from server-side includes using PHP or ASP, etc. to proprietary decoders. In good hands, it works great. For example: BLOGGING.

So, where do we go from here?




I'd like to introduce you to RSSSEXTICKERS.com. RSSEXTICKERS lets you go from feed URL in-hand to content on-page in about 60 seconds. And, it lets you turn the feed into an animated scroll on the recipient page -- like a news "ticker" -- hence the name

RSSEXTICKERS also allows you FULL CUSTOMIZATION of the feeds displayed appearance, including background, text and hover colors and dimensions.

Here are two examples meant to blend in with the site design:

XBIZ on DOTXXXBLOG.com

PINKGASM on IMPOVERISHEDNOOBS BLOG

This is a timely innovation in the midst of avalanching activity on both the RSS and Blogging fronts. I encourage you to check it out. You get 3,000 hosted ticker feeds on the house, and 10,000 for $6 bucks, thereafter. Feeds are hosted by us. All you do is drop-in a URL and get a URL back -- super simple. Enjoy and thank you --
