Renewable Energy World RSS Feeds

An Easy Way To Put Our News On Your Site

Renewable Energy World is pleased to make our daily content available to you via several RSS feeds. More about RSS.

Our RSS feed lets you put our headlines on your web site, which will update automatically when we post new stories daily. The easiest way to do this is with a free service like RSS-to-JavaScript. Enter the URL for one of our feeds, copy the line of javascript supplied, and simply insert it into your site's HTML code. If you want to do-it-yourself, WebReference has instructions for using Perl, and CaRP uses PHP (as do several other packages available online).

What is this? --

An RSS file is basically a list of headlines encoded so that it can be easily used by another program or web site. RSS is usually said to stand for "Really Simple Syndication" and it is relatively easy to implement and use. RSS is a form of XML (eXtensible Markup Language), which means that each piece of data in the list -- a headline, a description of a story -- is coded separately so that a program will know exactly what to do with it.

Programs that know what to do with RSS files are called "news aggregators." They let you read headlines from dozens or hundreds of news sites at one time. You simply plug in the addresses of the RSS files you want, such as the ones listed above.

News aggregators are proliferating, for a variety of platforms and degrees of technical expertise. Some popular ones are NewsMac (for Mac OS X), FeedDemon (for Windows), NetNewsWire (for Mac), Amphetadesk (for Windows, Linux, or Mac), Radio (for Windows or Mac), KlipFolio (for Windows), and NewzCrawler (for Windows). Pluck integrates right into IE 6.0 on Windows XP and 2000.

If you don't want to install any software, you might try web sites that do the aggregation for you. Bloglines offers an increasingly slick interface, while My Feedster marries an aggregator to an RSS search engine and MyWireService lets you add bunches of related feeds at once. There's also Oddpost (for Windows), a paid web-based e-mail service that includes a built-in aggregator.

Another thing RSS lets you do is put our headlines on your site, which update themselves automatically when the RSS feeds update. The easiest way to do this is with a free service like RSS-to-JavaScript. Enter the URL for one of our feeds, copy the line of javascript supplied, and simply insert it into your site's HTML code. If you want to do-it-yourself, WebReference has instructions for using Perl, and CaRP uses PHP (as do several other packages available online).
