New Graphics Tool
Spice up RSS links with FeedForAll's customizable RSS buttons. Bright and colorful graphics have long been used to raise the visibility of an RSS feed on a website. NotePage has made a free online RSS graphic tool available that allows users to quickly customize buttons by selecting the text on the button, and the color scheme of the button. Once the colors and text is entered a custom graphic is instantly created.

Webmasters can easily match the style of the RSS button to a website's theme. Graphic experience is not required, simply select alternative colors and insert text to personalize RSS feed graphics. The RSS graphic tool can be used by clicking the following url

Displaying RSS
If you are looking for ways to display RSS on your website. FeedForAll has a PHP script available. Please send us and . The documentation is still a bit rudimentary, but our support can assist you if you have any questions. The benefit to using PHP to display feeds on websites is that search engines see the content of the feeds as if it were static, but it updates as the feed is updated.
