Inserting Twitter RSS Feeds Into html?

How can I create a web page using an rss feed like the one above. It's a subject I have never gotten my head around.

Thanks in advance

Hi Brian,

There are a few programmes you can use to do this quite easily. My favourite is RSS2HTML which is free and you can get it here:

Download RSS Software

There's also Simple Pie, which you'll find here:

Hi Brian,

Be careful, the link you posted uses "atom" and not "Rss". While they are both subsets of XML and very similar, they are not the exact same, and not all RSS to html programs can handle atom.

Here's a link to the RSS version:

If you want to do it entirely automatically, you could use WordPress, the Prologue theme, and YAAB plugin.

Give YAAB the feed URL you referred to, and voila!

If you want to take it further, you could even then RE-twitter those re-published tweets using TwitMe plugin.

If you want to take it EVEN FURTHER you could probably pull keyword based tweets, stick your own links in them, and then jam them back into twitter.

Of course the only way to profit from that in any way is by getting followers, but if you can get those, you can pretty much auto-tweet on whatever you like.

I haven't done the re-twittering bit myself, but I have several sites built on Prologue that do nothing but re-publish twitters like this.

Works great.

Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any questions!
