calling xml/rss/mt/asp experts
thanks to JQ for the big brotheresque move of adding the comments thingy to my index page. people, it's frightening the power that he wields. be very afraid.
so here's my next request to the blog masters:
I want to display some of my category archives on my family website, which is hosted on a windoze server (iis 5.0). I've come to understand that I can do this with the RSS and XML stuff, but I havent been able to figure out how. do I need to parse the XML myself, or is there some (asp) code out there that I can use?

i'm not a master by any stretch of any imagination, but...
i've got a little php/xml news thingy (very similar to MT, aside from archiving and categorization features) i could throw at ya...
if you can get php up and runnin' on your server, you could look at this and it and see how it goes about parsing the xml... you can use xslt client-side as well, the only downside (that i know of) being no support from 4x browsers...
Can U believe you guys didn't hire him? He's full time out at Tubatomic now...for the record.
:)
He wont toot his own horn, so I'll do it for him.
hmm, I wasnt in on the hiring process, but I think we consider it hazardous for our designers to know more about programming than we do.
Honestly, I've tried it with ASP.....it's not worth it. I would have added an XML feed to our Events page at Erlanger, if I could get a decent parser. I'm looking at javascript and php to do this...but no luck yet.
Here are a couple of sites, I've looked at:
http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/articles/29509.aspx
http://www.jmason.org/scraping/
cool. thanks. I think I'm going to try it with .NET, which apparently has tons more xml support.
Another site to try is www.2rss.com. http://www.2rss.com/software.php has a module for integration of RSS into ASP.
