Import RSS Feed

Can anybody please let me know if it is possible to import an RSS Feed into my iWeb site? I would like the news feed to appear on my site [as opposed to wanting to establish a feed of my info to others].
Hope someone can help.
Regards....Scotty

...and here's some info on how to integrate the HTML into your web site:

It would be easier if you upgrade to iWeb 2 (in iLife '08) ~ then you could probably use iWeb 2's +HTML Snippet+ feature. Here's a video tutorial:

Import RSS feeds to Mail

Anyone know of a way to import OMPL rss feeds into Mail?
--Andrew

I have a manual way that will work. It will take a few steps but you can import in whole or in batches. If you have many feeds you may want to do in batches so as not to mix them up.
This will work with Vienna. It may just work with other readers too.
1) open Safari, and get to the bookmark manager (menu bar/bookmarks/show all bookmarks)
2) create a temp folder we can use to import the feeds. (*1)
3) open vienna & select a single feed or a range of feeds. (*2)
4) drag & drop the feeds in to the temp folder in safari you created in step 2.
5) open mail, got to (menu bar/file/add rss feed). Select the temp folder (*3)
6) click the all the check boxes and click add and your feeds have been imported. (*4)
If you had to do it manually this worked for me. Beats cut/paste links or manually typing. There is probably other ways to do it. Hope Apple patches this RSS feature soon. I dont want to wait for OSX 10.6 to see an improvement.
Notes:
*1 - Create a temp folder for each sub folder in your news reader. This will speed things up.
*2 - Unfortunately it does not drag and drop the folders you physically have to select the range of feeds. If your selection does include the folder (eg. your selection strattled 2 folders it will still process your selection. In other words it ignores the folder and drags your selection.
*3 - If you did create a temp folder for each folder group you had in your RSS feeder this is a step you would repeat at selecting the various temp folders. But read not 4 before you do.
*4 - Yes you have to individually click each box. Another grip is that even though you highlighted a folder in Mail it will import the feeds to the RSS main folder. This means you have to select & drag/drop into the sub-folder.

How to import RSS feeds?

Hello everyone. I have OS 10.6.8 and Mail program v.4.5
I had to create a new mail account. How can I import the RSS feeds from my old account? I have a time machine backup. I've tried replacing the plist but it doesn't work. Thank you.

1) My RSS feed reappeared like before but some do not work and none of them show more than 25 of the previous feeds.
I believe some don't work because either they "expired", the URL changed, or the article was removed. I'm sure the number appearing is due to the time you have the preferences set to remove feeds.
How can I get the old entries back in Mail?
I would think you have to go to the RSS section of Mail's preferences and set the time for it to remove feeds.
2) You said there was an esier way to fix the email in limbo problem. How?
If an email is "stuck" in the Outbox, you should be able to remedy that problem like this:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Outbox.mbox
3. Delete the message inside Outbox.mbox
4. Go back to mail and restart it.

I have done what it said in a previous question and exported my IE RSS feeds, but I can't understand how to import them into FireFox ot how to view them once they are imported.

In a previous question, someone asked hoe to import RSS feeds from IE to FireFox:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/358684?s=rss&as=q
I have done as it says, but had trouble with the second step which was "installing OPML Support 1.5.2 extension for Firefox, which you can use to import OPML file you just exported from IE". I think I installed the extension, but now what? how does it help me import the feeds? And where do i view RSS feeds in FireFox?

How can I import my bookmarks and RSS feeds from Flock?

I just switched over from Flock because it's too sluggish to use anymore. How do I import all my bookmarks, passwords, and RSS feeds? If I have to do it all by hand, I'm going to cry.
Also do I need a separate RSS reader to get my feeds in a nice list like Flock does it? I don't really get how Live Bookmarks are supposed to work.
Thanks. I used Firefox before moving to Flock, so hopefully switching back won't be too painful.

Hm. This was somewhat helpful. I got my bookmarks moved (although now that I see how many of them I had backed up, I'm not sure that was a good idea).
Still trying to figure out the passwords... I have my Flock profile folder and my Firefox profile folders open... it looks like I need to copy the key3.db file and the signons.sqlite file from the Flock folder to the Firefox folder, does that sound correct?
As for the RSS feeds, it looks like I'll need an external reader to make any use of the .OPML file that Flock exported for me. I'm still not really clear on how Live Bookmarks work, exactly. I see how to create and manage them, I just don't get how they function day to day. I have a ridiculous number of RSS feeds, some of which still have half a hundred posts I'm working my way through.
Any recommendations for a good Firefox compatible feed reader?
Thanks!

Import of rss feed no longer possible?

How do I import a picasa webalbum content into iPhoto/aperture? The latest version of iPhoto no longer has the option to import an rss feed??? Or where is it gone? Any other option to import a set of pictures from picasa webalbum?

Thanks, but then how to download a COMPLETE picasa webalbum to the mac. Not picture for picture manually? Any tools, ... for that available?

I cannot find the list of RSS feeds so I can delete one. I import into Outlook where I deleted the feed, but can't reload the RSS feed.

When I use Explorer, there is a place that lists all my RSS feeds which I can delete, open, etc.. I cannot find a similar location on FireFox.
There is a RSS feed that I am having problems downloading to my Outlook and I would like to delete the feed & reload. (I have deleted from my Outlook.).
Any suggestions on where I can find a list of my RSS feeds?

Firefox doesn't keep a special list of RSS feed items. 
Those are treated like all other bookmarks and are managed in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).
* Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks
IE stores each favorite as a separate folder on the hard drive and probably needs a special handling for its feed items, but Firefox stores the bookmarks and history in one database file places.sqlite.
So if you haven't placed all RSS feed items in one bookmarks folder or have otherwise tagged them then it will be difficult to locate them all.

Having trouble setting up RSS feeds

I am new to Firefox , just switched to a Mac. I have tried to set up my RSS feeds on my sidebar. I am not seeing the option for live bookmarks. I imported the feeds from IE, some a showing twice. I am not seeing highlighted posts for new posts.

Found a workaround

Why is this RSS Feed not working?

Here is the code I used on the RSS Parser file. Yet when I
open the flash viewer no changes have been made from the original
example I pulled this from. Sorry, the code is listed twice. The
second version is when I used "attach code" and I can't seem to
delete the original cut & paste.
Mind you, I'm just getting through the latter stages of a
beginner Flash course, so if possible, please keep explanations
relatively understandable to a newbie. :)

Please when you have a question post the feed URL, not its contents. For reference, your feed is at
http://gamersscope.emachine08.com/podcast.rss
You have failed to close the category tag, which renders the feed unreadable. You need to add a line as here:
<itunes:category text="Games & Hobbies">
<itunes:category text="Video Games"/>
</itunes:category>
<itunes:owner>
Though it doesn't affect the validity of the feed, your link tag:
<link>http://gamersscope.emachine08.com</link>
leads to a server directory, not a page.

How can I transfer RSS feeds from one PC to another?

I have an old laptop using WinXP with Firefox installed and a significant number of RSS feed tabs.
I have a new laptop using Win7 Home Premium 64-bit with Firefox installed. I now want to copy the collection of RSS feeds on my old laptop to my new laptop.
Thank you!

You can backup the bookmarks to an HTML file and import that file in the new laptop. 
You will have to remove the unwanted bookmarks and only keep or copy/move the RSS feed bookmarks to the folder where you want them.

RSS Feeds on Yahoo Front Page/My Yahoo are no longer loading. Please help!

After "fixing" my installation of Firefox I am unable to load any RSS feeds onto My Yahoo Front Page! They are all gone. Please help me to recover these important feeds. They are my only source of News every day.

It is part and parcel of the Yahoo Front page where one can choose what media, if any, one wishes to view. No, they are not add-ons gathered from you or anywhere else. I'm surprised Mozilla does not know that, actually! I do not believe Yahoo allows RSS feeds outside of their own to be included on that Front Page/Home Page.

I have read up, and am still having problems with RSS Feed

Greetings Everyone.
I really need some help with my RSS feed before I go insane. I would like to think I know what I am doing, but obviously there is some little (or big!) step I am overlooking.
Ok here is my site: www.drewernst.com it is hosted by asmallorange.com
My pocast is at www.drewenst.com/podcast
This is the rss feed iWeb generated: feed://www.drewernst.com/podcast/The%20Jeff%20and%20Drew%20Podcast/rss.xml
Now, from everything I have read so far - it seems that as long as you get the URL right when you are publishing to a folder, iWeb should do the rest. Also, it is important to put the whole folder containing your podcast in your root web folder otherwise it breaks the feed. Both of these things I have done. (obviously not correctly, or it would be working!)
I read Many tutorials and topics I could find about this, but it still doesn't seem to work for me. Apple suggests taking the RSS feed an pasting it into itunes under Advanced menu "subscribe to podcast" to make sure your feed is valid before submitting to itunes.
When I do this, I get an message saying "there was a problem downloading... An unknown error occurred (-50).
I tried using a feed validator and it came back with so many errors. I just don't know that much about RSS, but i have been working on this for about a month and it's driving me crazy. No one I have asked at the apple store has been any more helpful than to suggest I just buy a .mac account and do it from there(honestly the nerve. wink.) I don't need .mac, I have my own website.
Thanks in advance.
Mr. Rss Crazy,
Drew
Oh, I tried to be as detailed as possible but if I left anything important out, please just ask...I will be watching this like a hawk.

So, my web-host said that it's a problem with the RSS feed, not there hosting.
They pointed me to "Feed Validator" which I looked at before. I have a lot of errors.
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drewernst.com%2Fpodcast% 2FThe%2520Jeff%2520and%2520Drew%2520Podcast%2Frss.xml
Shouldn't Garageband and iWeb have taken care of these errors. I don't even know how I would correct them. I thought this was supposed to be a 1-2-3 process, like the documentation of both programs said.
Sorry if I sound sarcastic, I am just frustrated.

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. [SOLVED]

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. This started happening right around the time I updated to Firefox 4, but may have been a little before that too. For some things, like news and web comics it's just a little annoying. For important things like looking for new journal articles for my job, it literally makes my job more difficult. So fixing this would make my day.

I seem to have solved my own problem. When I disabled the add-on "Tab Renamizer" everything started working fine.

Parse RSS feed -System.out

Hi,
As below i have been reading RSS feeds.
When i execute the parser.parse(url) method i get a dump of the xml bones from the feed onto System.out, which in my case is a catalina log file.
Is there any way/method that im not aware of that can prevent this going to System.out?
public void readRSSDocument() throws Exception {
 //Create the parser
 RssParser parser = RssParserFactory.createDefault();
 //Parse our url
 Rss rss = parser.parse(
 new URL("http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_world.rss"));
 }output:

I am presuming that you picked up the code from [this tutorial|http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javaserverpages/rss_utilities/]
Looks like the library was compiled with System.out.println() statements in it.
There is always the handy little method "System.setOut()" to redirect it.
Alternatively, decompile the code, delete/comment the System.out.println statements and then recompile it.
Its not that hard. Here's the offending class:
