 Using TLRP News

How to use the TLRP News RSS Feeds

The TLRP provides a RSS (Really Simple Syndication) news feed which can be syndicated. For a simple explaination of RSS see BBC News RSS Explained or for a more technical perspective see XML.com What is RSS.

TLRP RSS feeds can be used in number of ways:

The feed can be taken "raw" by an RSS Aggregator or feed reader, from the following web address

TLRP RSS Feed

http://www.tlrp-archive.org/tlrp/rdf/tlrp_news_rich.rdf

TLRP Dspace RSS Feed

http://www.tlrp-archive.org/tlrp/rdf/dspace_news.rdf

The feed is also provided in a JavaScript format so that it can be "dropped" straight into a web page. Webmasters simply need to copy and paste the follow section of code, into your webpage, to have TLRP News on your web page.

<div id="news">
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.tlrp-archive.org/tlrp/rdf/tlrp_news_rich.js"></script>
</div>

The above code will produce the TLRP news in the following format in a web page.

The shape, size and style of how you want to display your news can be changed by using Cascading Style Sheet calls. Copy and paste the code below into your style sheet and then adjust to your own preferences.
