How to Create a Feed Reader to Embed on My Website
Embedding a feed reader, also known as an RSS reader, in your website provides your site's visitors with the latest news and updates from another site. This is useful for keeping your visitors up-to-date with current news related to your site's topic, as the RSS reader updates itself automatically. Create an embeddable feed reader in less than ten minutes using the RSS Reader+ Google Gadget.
