Help needed - ASP.NET and news feed on my site.
Hi, I am ahving some trouble understanding putting live news feeds on my website and need some questions answered.
I have hosting with Arvixe Windows ASP.NET.
I understand that - to have news feed on my site that is search engine friendly and can be spidered to help with SEO, the script for the news feed can't be javascript. I have my information from here: www feedforall com/converting-rss-to-html htm (dots where spaces are)
So my only option for search engine friendly spidered news feed is either PHP or ASP.
:confused: Question 1 > Can someone please confirm that ASP.NET coded news feeds will be spidered by the search engines and automatically help with my SEO ???
The next problem I have is that I can only program in basic HTML and am not experienced with any other type of scripts like PHP or ASP.NET.
What I want to do is have a news feed code pasted into my html code files and displayed on my website.
I have tried, without success, installing a free PHP news feed on my site provided by: www rssfeedreader com (dots where spaces are) This site has options for your feed and generates the code for you to paste into your html file.
The problem I have is that it only gives an option for PHP to add to my site, (which would be search engine friendly and spidered and help with my SEO).
There is only an option to either edit my Apache Servers .htaccess file or with Windows Servers use .shtml with a plain .php file and the SSI code in a .shtml file. I have a Windows ASP.NET Hosting Server so have tried the .shtml option, but without any success. I have also tried various methods using the Windows Server web.config file and code to allow the PHP script code to be usable in a .html file. Also without any success.
Apparently PHP is only used on Linux Apache servers with the .htaccess file. Now I have hosting on a Windows ASP.NET server and it uses the web.config file.
:confused: Question 2 > Would the best option, for me, be finding a similar news feed generator that gives script code in ASP.NET ???
So I can 'simply' configure my web.config file to allow the generated news feed script code to be pasted into a .html file (without the use of .stml).
:confused: Question 3 > Does anyone know of a good free news feed generator that uses ASP.NET as the code script that it generates. ??? (For ease of use on my Windows ASP.NET hosting service)
:confused: Question 4 > Is there a major problem with using PHP news scripts on Windows ASP.NET servers with the web.config file instead of the Apache .htaccess file, or am I just experiencing problems with this particular PHP news feed code generator site I am using : www rssfeedreader com (dots where spaces are) ???
Any help greatly appreciated, I am rather confused as how to get a news feed onto my site with only html knowledge.
Thanks,
Chris.
