Cool

When we first started using RSS feeds on Case's web presence, like the news headlines feed on the Case homepage, we were using an outside source to process them, and bringing them in via javascript. We're not serving our pages with a PHP enabled server, and all things considered, we thought this was a pretty good compromise. We had been using a popular service that links from 'maricopa.edu', in fact I've seen other affiliates within the university using this as well. Recently though, this link to maricopa.edu had started to put a drag on loadtime, so we looked into alternate methods of processing. This is just a reminder, that for those of you who find their pages loading s l o w l y... there are other ways of doing this that you should look into. Check the "Feed to JavaScript" link in the Related Sites menu that previously took you to the maricopa instructions. Ask us if you have any questions about this. Now, for the record there's more than one way to do this, and we've found another method that doesn't rely on the maricopa.edu site at all. In fact, if you've found a better way to do this or even just another way, write a comment here about how you have solved this problem. How are you pulling in your RSS feeds and re-purposing then in your HTML pages without using an external source, or pre-processing (PHP)? Thanks, Kevin (368-3447)
