Would you like to offer a “Headline News” version of The Bluegrass Blog on your web site?

Well now you can. Brance has created a javascript RSS aggregator which will allow you to display the ten most recent post headlines from The Bluegrass Blog anywhere on your web site or blog. Each headline will display the first few sentences of the post when you hover your mouse over it, and a click will open that post on The Bluegrass Blog in a new window.

The headlines are automatically updated every few minutes (via RSS), so you’ll never need to do anything to keep the headline display current on your site.

You will need a basic familiarity with html coding to insert this script into your site, though many WYSIWYG code generator applications (GoLive, DreamWeaver, Front Page) and many web log applications make it a fairly simple task to insert a javascript into a page.

The examples below show the script displayed at two different sizes. The script is written to fill the size of the html object which contains it, so be sure to set an appropriate width in the table or division tag where you want the headlines to display. If the tag has no width setting, the box will expand to fit the entire width of your page.

To get this box to appear on your site, you need to insert the following code in your html document:

<script language=”JavaScript” src=”http://www.thebluegrassblog.com/syndicate.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>

Just copy and paste the text above where appropriate in your code - without line breaks.

This code must go within a table cell or tag (paragraph, divison, etc). If you aren’t sure how to implement a javascript, please check the documentation for your code generator or blog application. We will not be able to assist you in implementing this script on your site.
