What is the easiest way to display an RSS feed on your website?

First of all, I don't want to publish a RSS feed of my content. I want to display a feed from an outside source. i.e display the Mahalo Answers feed on my site.

I know packages like Wordpress have plugins for this but I want to be able to display it on a simple html or php site.

I have used javascript but I've read thats bad for search engines and it relies on a third party servers.

Anyone know a way, that is fairly easy to do.

Thanks in advance for the answers and sorry for the no tip. I'm setting up a PayPal account now and will definitely tip with future questions.
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I have had really good luck with springwidgets on my sites and one of the many widgets they offer is an RSS feed display

It sounds like you want to display an RSS feed within your HTML website. The easiest/best way to do this is to use RSS2HTML a free PHP script. This means that you can retain the complete control of the HTML layout (using templates) and make it match your existing design. Additionally using PHP rather than JavaScript will mean that search engine spiders can "spider" the contents of the RSS feeds.

Additional details and a free rss2html download is available at: http://www.feedforall.com/more-php.htm

Goodluck!

The easiest way to do it is using Google Feed API. It has a wizard where you customize your rss feed (source, # of news you want to display,e tc) Once you are done, Google generates the code for you and all you do is copy and paste anywhere in your web page.
Here is the site: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/
source(s):
Google

How about trying a Google Gadget? Google has a collection of gadgets that work well, are proven, and are simple to embed in any site. This Google gadget might do it for you!

This also looks really promising. I looked into gadgets and widgets awhile back but there wasn't this level of customization.

Thanks guys.

It sounds like you want the content of the feed to be visible to search engines. In this case you'll need to use a server script to fetch the feed, cache it locally and render it into your web pages. An example of a system that does this is Drupal's aggregation module.
