Having problems with message search?
Can somebody answer a few question I have about RSS?
1) How much work is involved for webmasters to integrated the RSS-
code in their page, and have the content feed displayed within a
page-area of defined dimensions (width and height)?

------ Acutally very easy, go to this page http://simplestores.net/quickrss/index2.html enter the url of your feed and place the javascript code on a page of your site. This RSS to html is on my site and will stay active for hopefully forever -----------------
2) Is having external content integrated within their webpages just
a matter of cutting and pasting the XML-code of the RSS file in
their back-end? Or is there some development involved for webmasters
to be able to do this (and have RSS feeds on their site?) In that
case:

-------- I think this is answered above, the xml, rss, or atom code must be converted before it can display as html. -------
3) How much work is involved? Is this easy code (html or script?),
and are there templates or guides available?

--------- Simple to convert but would need a custom display page for special modifications ------------
4) Would it be feasible to send webmasters RSS code, together with
the code to equip their web-pages as a `RSS fed content aggregator'?

-------- I guess both are better, shows you want them to display your stuff any way they can I offer the RSS prayer feeds both ways on this site http://www.tlpn.org ---------------
5) How many websites are really geared up to have RSS feeds? Or are
we only talking about a hand-full of portals?

----------- Tens of Thousands ----------------------
6) To date we are using iframes to syndicate our content. What is
the difference? What advantages does RSS have for webmasters? (I
know RSS has advantages to site-users, but this is another matter)

----------- Iframes are great, have used them for years in my syndication at http://www.live-prayer-banners.org as a matter of fact I syndicate over 60 different items and consider myself one of the foremost syndication experts in the world. Your best bet is to use a javascript to call the iframe. The client adds a javascript to their site and if you want to ever change dimentions of the unit you change the iframe and the javascript only displays the code it is told to display. --------------------
---------- As far as trying to explain this in more detail, you can give me a call if you like, I have no problem with helping someone ------------------------

I really would appreciate a response - please assume I am a 12 year
old child with no real knowledge of html, xml or any scripting code
(asp, php etc.)
Other syndication alternatives to RSS and iframe also greatly
appreciated.
Warm regards,
