Strange title isn't it! Tongue
Well, thanks to RSS you can retreive any site's RSS content to your website fast and easy. In this Mod I will show you how I was able to display the last ten messages from Web Wiz forum to my own website.
 
Pros: A basic neat Mod that can be done in less than 5 minutes and does not require any programming skills.
Cons: Page where you want those posts to be displayed must have a "php" extension as a "php-based" code will be used to retreive the posts. *Hopefully someone can do the ASP version for it.

This Mod is based on the CrispyRSS script which you can use for custom Blog Rolls, portal sites and web based RSS aggregators.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Getting Started:
1- Download CrispyRSS, read its Readme.txt and you will be able to do everything on your own! For now I'll continue with this getting started guide
 
2- Extract or unzip that CrispyRSS file, upload its content to anywhere on your website.
 
3- Open the file example.php and edit this code
<? 
 include 'crispy_rss.php';
 parse_feed ("Your_Forum's_RSS_URL_Goes_Here",10);
?>
Note: the red-colored values are to be replaced with your own. Note: the red-colored number (10) is how many posts you wanna display. You can make it 10, 15, 100, 1000, etc...
4- That's it, you're done.
 
**My demo is a little messy as the original RSS file on the forum has to be edited so that it could look better.
