Does anyone know where I can get a news feed for my site that provides domain name news?
 
Moreover. Look at any domain related site showing news, and view the html. The code is all the same. It's javascript. You can change it to match the colors of your website. You're not supposed to use it on commercial sites, but there seem to be some blurry lines.

At any rate, take a peek at the news section on FreeWho.com for an example.

Thanks for the reply Nexus...I should have mentioned "free" news feed. Moreover wanted a few K for theirs.
 
Nah, you can do the moreover wizard for free.

I email them and they said they no longer offer free feeds. Any link you have to them would be great!
 
Exactly. If you're still looking for something else, TopNames... Demy's offers an RDF newsfeed. Just send them an e-mail.

I've heard that about their not doing free feeds anymore. Does that mean that the guys with the links working now are going to be grandfathered in? You can see the free feeds are still working at dnjournal and DS. Maybe as you stated, you just need the old link. Ask Duke.

Modify colors as necessary. Seems simple.

Or, maybe an attachment...

Never mind - Nexus was posting while I was writing!

....actually after looking at it, that's not what I saw. There was a URL to a page that allowed you to set up what news you wanted and then it generated the code for the choices you made. That was the Wizard as I recall. I can't find the URL to that page so don't know if it is still there.
 
Yup .. moreover is free .. just use the wizard . :-)
 
Which part of the JS goes in the header and which part goes in the body?
 
Moreover is no longer free.

Those feeds you see now are continuing old contracts.
