How to integrate an RSS feed into your website

RSS feeds are a great way to syndicate information from other sites into your web pages. There are essentially two main ways to do this. One solution is for plain HTML pages, for when you don't have access to a scripting language like PHP, Perl, etc. The second solution is to use a scripting language, parse a remote RSS file, and then cache/display it locally.

These two options are detailed below. Lastly, if you use some sort of content management system or other dynamic script to run your website, many already include built-in support for RSS, or have plug-ins available that enable this. Drupal (the code that runs this site) has its news aggregation feature, for displaying any number of RSS feeds. Check out the local list of RSS feeds.
