What newsfeeds do you offer for syndication?

We currently offer three newsfeeds: one for fish news (fishnews.rdf), one for article headlines (simple.rdf) and one which includes article headlines and a snippet of information on the content of the article (descriptive.rdf).

• fishnews.rdf
• simple.rdf
• descriptive.rdf

How do I incorporate this newsfeed into my website?

There are several ways to do this. Experienced web developers can create a parser to read the XML contained in our newsfeeds and generate headlines which integrate perfectly into their website. If you don't want to write your own, there are many pre-written scripts available for this purpose.

Less experienced developers can use one of the many online services available that allow feeds to be integrated into websites produced in a range of scripting languages.

• RSS to JavaScript (suitable for any website)
• Global Syndication RSS to JavaScript (suitable for any website)
