RSS Feeds for Commercial Site Question

[webmaniac]

Hello all. I am designing a web site for a local, independent radio station. I would love to add RSS feeds so that news and music news headlines and articles would automatically update on my page. I am confused about how to do this.

First, I am wondering if anyone knows of a free music related feed for COMMERCIAL sites. I would love to add rolling stone magazine feeds but from what I can find, I do not see if they allow just personal or commercial feeds and I don't want to get into a hassle over that.

Second, I am wondering how the heck you go about adding these to your site. The information I have been reading talk about RSS readers which I don't think a website needs since most browsers seem to have that capability and when you click on the RSS feed buttons on their sites it gives you some code??

Does anyone know of a good article on how to add this to your website or can anyone give me some direction. The articles I have found seem to focus on adding the feeds to a "My Yahoo" page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Google RSS feed formatting scripts. You should get a few that you can use for free, either on their server, or yours.

Thank you for your response but I would have really loved a little explanation of what i am looking at on google. Do you need an RSS reader? do you upload it to the web root directory? I don't understand the process

No, you don't need a reader to put it on your site. There are sites out there that allow you to just put the url of the RSS feed into a text box, click a button, and they return the code you put into your webpage. You can then style the feed with the css selectors that script assigns.
