Google is now offering website owners the possibility to place dynamic RSS AJAX feeds on your webpages.

That’s a bit of a mouthful I know, but basically all it is is a RSS feed from a website that constantly updates itself and Google powers it.    Look upon it as perhaps a scrolling ticker tape that you see on the TV news programs for example.   You can now have one for your website.

So if you have your own blog or a favourite blog that you want to promote, you can now have the constantly updating story headlines on your own webpage, courtesy of Google.    You just need to know the RSS feed address but that’s easy.   Any blog owner these days is practically advertising their RSS feed from the rooftops - and if they’re not, they’re totally crazy.

So say you absolutely love Google Tutor (who doesn’t?!) .    Just go to the Google Code page and enter the phrase “Google Tutor”

This will then bring up the RSS feed for Google Tutor and you will see a preview of what the RSS AJAX bar will look like :

Then all you need to do is press the “Generate code for your web page” button to make the code you need :

Please bear in mind though that the actual interface of the app is actually see-through, not white, so if you don’t have a white background on your webpage, the “powered by Google” logo will not look very good and will not blend in properly.    In that situation, I recommend you do a little bit of basic HTML and make a basic white box to put your RSS feed into.

I also noticed that if you try to make two of these boxes (for two different feeds) and place them on the same page, they tend not to interact very well with one another and they go a bit mad.   I really don’t know why that is and I ended up having to split them up.
