- The Feed Validator will tell you whether your Feed is coded correctly or not;
- It'll also tell you what's wrong with your Feed if there are any problems;
When you're finished, use your back button to return to this page.
Back so soon? Validated, did it? Wonderful!
Next: choose the options you want in your feed:

Generate JavaScript Button - Get Your Code!

Let's Build Your Code!

Include = Display channel title and description (default);
Exclude = Don't show channel title & description;
Title Only = Show channel title - no description.

Include Exclude Title Only - Accept Include or choose another option.

How many news items do you want listed?

0 = Show complete item list (default);
1 or more = Display the exact number of items you want to publish.

Accept 0 = ALL or enter your number.

Want news item descriptions as well?

1 = Show complete item description text (default);
0 = No item descriptions;
2 or more = Number of description characters you want to display;
-1 = Don't link item title, display item contents only.

Accept 1 = Complete Description or enter a different number.

Use HTML code for item formatting?

NO = Output is text-only formatted by CSS (default);
YES = Use your feed HTML - ignores character limit above (if set);
PAR = No HTML, convert all RETURN/linefeeds to <br> - preserves paragraph breaks.

NO YES PAR - Accept NO or select a different option.

View item publishing date?

YES = Show publishing date; (default)
NO = Don't show publishing date.

YES NO - Accept YES or choose NO.

Present feed in new window?

n = no : Links open at the top of page - auto-refresh
y = yes: Opens link in a new window
xxxx = Opens a JavaScript Popup Window - links in a frame named xxxx
Please don't forget to switch off your pop-up blocker if you choose yes!

Popup - Accept n = code on this page or enter your preferred choice.

Require UTF-8 Character Encoding too (advanced users)?

If you check the box, UTF-8 character encoding will be used - my advice:
Try both - big surprise on the Dieresis or German Umlaut when I tested the
Tanja Baumann RSS Feed Deutsch!

UTF-8 - Accept blank field = don't require UTF-8 or check the box.

Need a Custom CSS Class (advanced users)?

Amateur like me? Get 1 feed right first, then play around with this one;
Create different styles for multiple feeds per page;
Specify your Class Name as e.g. rss_box_XXXX - enter your own code name, xxx is an example;
Style sheets must fit the Style Guideline Specifications.

rss_box_XXXX - Accept empty field = rss box as is or enter Container Class Name.

Go to Add Style to Your JavaScript RSS Feed and follow the explanation - it's easy, I promise.
