Kennesaw State University (in Georgia, US) is hosting their own copy of RSS2HTML for their use. RSS2HTML is a script I wrote that can be used to publish RSS feeds in web pages in two different ways.

The first is to generate a line of code (JavaScript, PHP or HTML) that developers can paste into web pages to style and publish their RSS feed through my server.

Kennesaw State University has implemented the alternative method which uses their own server.

Since RSS2HTML is available under the MIT license users run their own copy of RSS2HTML via their own servers. It al so means people can make their own changes to RSS2HTML (and hopefully they'll share those changes back to my repo on Github).

There have been some issues with the server last night, as a rush of people went to try and submit scores for ArrowKeyControl.

I’ve (hopefully) fixed the problems by installing nginx (which I’ll be blogging about more later), and everything should be working nicely now. I’ll be keeping an eye on the server; if you see anything amiss, just drop me a comment.

A quick shout-out to those people who have linked to my pages:

RSS 2 HTML allows you to embed RSS ‘feeds’ into your web pages in only a few minutes. Just copy the URL for the RSS feed into my page, then click ‘submit’ and my page will spit out the right HTML to copy into your web page, resulting in feeds on your web page.

You can even style the feeds with CSS.

RSS 2 HTML is implemented in PHP, with the front end implemented in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

This script alone has generated over 7 million hits to my site since March 2008 (when the server was changed).

The code for RSS 2 HTML is now open source. You can get it at http://github.com/bloopletech/rss2html/tree/master. Feel free to contribute and make RSS 2 HTML even better!
