ADDING NEWS TO YOUR BLOG |
Besides your thoughts and opinions lined up in a neat column of text and published daily to your adoring audience, there are additional, less obvious ways you can express yourself to your readers on your blog. A nice way to do this and add value at the same time is to build a customized news feed. The news headlines you choose to have piped into your blog are a reflection of your interests and/or an addition to your topic-based blog.
Several services provide free aggregated news headlines from hundreds of sources. They're dynamically displayed on your blog, and you need to spend only a few minutes to set it up. The news headlines from Moreover.com are a great way to go.
If you're interested in adding a news feed to your blog, visit Moreover.com and click the link in the footer that says Non-commercial Webmasters. From the resulting page, click Start Now to launch the Webfeed Wizard. In five minutes, you'll have a news feed all set up. For the techies out there, Moreover News Feeds also come in assorted formats, including JavaScript, Flash, XML, (RSS, CDF, WDDX, ColdFusion, and so on) WAP, TSV, and HTML. Moreover allows you to choose from almost 1,000 predefined categories, or you can build a category from your keywords. There's no maintenance required because the news headlines update automatically—so there's no work for you to do after you have integrated the code.
You also can start with one of their designs, and then tweak it to suit your needs. Feel free to change the HTML around a bit to work with your blog, but make sure you don't break it! Go back and get new code if it's not working right after you've played around a bit with it. You'll find that a news feed is not only a valuable add-on for your readers, but it's also a great help when you're trying to think of something to blog about.
Are you trying to find the best spot on your blog to put your search feature and your news feed? Many bloggers find that a modular approach works best when adding elements like search and news to a blog. If the central text of your blog runs down the middle of your page, try putting the news feed in a column on the right, about 200 pixels wide.shows an example of a news feed column in a blog. When choosing a spot for your search feature, think about where you would look if you came to a blog looking for something. You'll find that keeping the search "above the fold" so that users don't have to scroll down to find it makes it easier to spot right away.
Another valuable feature available to bloggers is email subscriptions. Bloglet is a free service that you can use to make your blog entries available via email to anyone who signs up. Although there is much more going on behind the scenes at Bloglet this is all you need to know. Like adding other dynamic features to your blog, Bloglet just involves signing up and pasting some code into your blog's template. Email updates are a great feature to add to your blog because daily emails remind your readers that your blog is still going strong and is worthy of a visit. Out of site, out of mind!
