Creating an image based RSS feed of your blog

Adding a visual feed to your email or article footer

RSS can look so boring, but can it be made more interesting?

I have been asked how I put the “ticker” in my footer on emails and on some article sites I post to.

It looks like:

Each time an article is added to the blog so the graphic is updated.

How to create this graphic

To get this just go to
http://www.rss-image.com

Add your RSS feed
you will be presented with an image address like:

http://www.rss-image.com/img/404614dbc1681494efe7bf98ab3804fa.gif

To make this image “clickable

Simply create some simple HTML code around this image address:
<a href=”http://rapidbi.com/blog“> – where the address is your blog

Then add    “><img src=” – followed by your image address

and close off with:
” /></a><br />

So together it looks like:

<a href=”http://rapidbi.com/blog”><img src=”http://www.rss-image.com/img/404614dbc1681494efe7bf98ab3804fa.gif” /></a><br />

This can then be added to many blogs, article sites and of course your email footer….And the best news is it stays up to date.
