OK, I now understand how this software works. Omar has been a huge help in getting that to happen. However, due to the fact that I am not very "RSS" savvy, I would like some help, please.

I have no idea how to add the code for RSS into my web page.  I am using another software to create pages based on a template that I made. I want to add the RSS code into that template so that it would be on every page that my template creates.

Please someone show me how to do this.

Thank You so much

If I'm understanding you correctly you are saying you want to display the rss feeds created by Content Solution on the pages of another website that you are building with some script.

If that is correct you need an RSS parser, the best RSS parser available on the internet is CaRP from geckotribes.com, but you have to have a little bit of familiarity with php to use it, the documentation is pretty good though. There are some simpler, easier solution available to you, but be aware that many of them will use javascript to display the feed contents which means that spiders can not see that content.

Another option is to use the free rss script that came with Content Solution. It will take the RSS feeds and turn each one into a new page, and you could use your template to just include the out put from that through a php include or a server side include.

Hi Eddie0816

If your pages are generated and output as php files, you can paste the following tag into your template, and it will (in my experience) display put your CS feed on your pages - either in the plain text or rss format, depending on which feed you choose.

http://www.yourdomain.com/link-to-your-cs-feed-link.php"); ?>

It is important that your pages have the php ending. In theory you can make htm, html or shtml pages parse php statements by changing the .htaccess file, but many hosts does not allow this because of security reasons, so the include work only in php files

I see that there is a tread in the BloggerSolution forum stating that the include version does not work, but in my experience (and I have tried it with Traffic Equalizer and RSSGM) - and it works great.  
It can be some BloggerSolution - spesific parsing things corrupting the include-string when parsing the template for output to the blog.
