The other day, Justin posted a link to this super-great little tool

If you missed it, go right now and try it out!

If you are not quite sure what it is and what it does ,,,, let me give another example.  Several Active Rain members have made Squidoo Lens

You know how one of the Squidoo modules is an option to insert an RSS feed into your Squidoo page ... like this

And when you add that module, links to your most recent blog posts will automatically show up on your Squidoo lens ... like this .....

 

Well, with that little RSS-TO-JAVACRIPT tool, you can add that same kind of feed "module" to any web page or blog page.

Just grab the URL or your blog's feed, for an Active Rain blog, just click on the clicklet near the bottom of the right column

For example, the URL for my Active Rain blog feed is http://activerain.com/blogs/cheryljns/rss

Enter the URL is the top box of the converter

Check the settings -- I went with 8 items in the list, no descriptions

  

 

Click Generate Javascript, and the convertor will create a little snippet of code that you can copy and paste into a web page.

Like this ....

This is so cool!  Thank you again, Justin!

Cheryl,  I think I understand your post but why do I need this and how does it work ?

Cheryl, I'm new to blogging and sooooo confused about tools like this.  Do you mind explaining how this tool, and tools such as squidoo can benefit me?  I've been here on AR about a month or so and am now working on building an outside blog as well, and I have so much to learn.  Obviously!  Thanks for your help!

Ah Cheryl, I will NEVER be able to do this, I think I still have most of your last posts bookmarked!  You make it look easy but nothing technical is easy to me.  Your knowledge and expertise stun me, though!

Cheryl - thanks, it worked! I just added it to my website! Great stuff and easy to do. This will help many agents who want to incorporate their blog into their website. Bookmarked both your post and the RSS to Javascript Blog for future use and referrals. :-)

Christopher -- Several members have written about Squidoo -- do a blog search here, you should find all kinds of info.

Ok, well I'm going to dive in and give it a try.  I doubt that I'll get it the first time out but I usually figure these things out if I work with it.  Thanks for giving me the desire to even try it.  I appreciate the information.

Caution: CAT BLOG AHEAD

Including random thoughts on life, art, business, stuff, and occasionally Real Estate.

What is a CAT BLOG?

According to Seth Godin: "Cat blogs are for, by, and about the person blogging. A cat blog is about your cat and your dating travails and your boss and whatever else you feel like sharing in your public diary." Well, I am the boss, my dating years are behind me, but I do love my cats.

Enjoy!
