Running more that one RSS feed on a page

Hi there,
this could well be a dumb question but then if you don't ask you don't learn.
Could someone let me know if you can run more than one RSS feed on a page - ie get feeds from different sites and then have them running on your site.

Have set one feed up but then I don't seem to be able to put up a second feed.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Running more that one RSS feed on a page

yeah you can, I have done that before but I think you need to link to it rather than just using the meta bit in the head tag. for example you could have 2 rss links on a page which users could drag into their browsers

Re: Running more that one RSS feed on a page

Thanks for the reply voodoochilli - not quite sure what you mean about dragging the rss link into their browser - would that mean no dynamic link.
The link to the page in question is www.rise.ie/index_rss.php There is some javascript embedded in head section of the page calling a function.
Sorry about vagueness am new to rss so if you know any good tuts on this would be appreciated.

Well for a start off you can call the main rss feed like this

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Your news feed title" href="address to your feed.xml">next you simply need a link to the rss feeds somwhere, like on one of my sites there is this link

http://www.voodoochilli.net/rss.xml

if thats a graphical link, people can just drag it into a rss compatible browser/news reader

Re: Running more that one RSS feed on a page

I am not looking for people to feed rss files off this.
I just want people to read feeds from two sites.
Does that still mean I need an xml file...

Boy am I confused - just used a script from Dynamic Drive so hacked at this and thought that I'd set up dynamic content for the site.

Am going to have to do some reading up on this - any pointers...
Feel like a bit of an

Re: Running more that one RSS feed on a page

I think you just need to link to the 2 rss files, which are normaly xml files and indicate to the browser that there are rss files using the method I listed above. I am not an expert on this so maybe someone else can help you better.

This page looks quite useful, give it a read:
