I picked up a small snippet of code from http://www.mikeshea.net/newsfeeds/ that allows you to embed a news feed into a webpage.
I took that and threw it into a Snitz page, and you can see my example at:
http://www.councilofgrey.com/feed.asp
The code is:
<TABLE valign=top bgcolor="<% =strTableBorderColor %>" border="0" cellPadding="4" cellSpacing="0" align="center" width="50%">
<TR>
<TD bgcolor="<%=strHeadCellColor%>" align=center nowrap>
<FONT face="<%=strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<%=strDefaultFontSize %>" color="<%=strHeadFontColor %>">
<B>Everquest Usenet Feed</B>
</FONT>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD bgcolor="<% =strForumCellColor %>" nowrap>
<FONT face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>">
<script src="http://mikeshea.net/newsfeed_script/http://mikeshea.net/usenet/alt.games.everquest"></script>
</FONT>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
To use it, just change alt.games.everquest to the Usenet newsgroup of your choice, and modify the table title. You might need to change/remove the width="50%" depending on your placement.
I wanted to include it as a "panel" on my forum's default.asp, butI ended up not doing it since the hit to the 3rd party website slows the page load a bit more than I like. If you visit the http://www.mikeshea.net/newsfeeds/ page, he discusses how you can avoid this issue, but I don't have the necessary tools that he mentions.
Nothing revolutionary, but I thought some of you might have fun with it.
