• www.OurPlanet.com (published by the UN Environment Programme) takes headlines and text from top stories from around the world, and displays them in the upper right of their home page. You can see how they display a second page by clicking on the 'More stories' link at the bottom of that column. These stories come from the established feed 'Stories from around the globe' (see below).

• The Collaborative on Health and the Environment. displays today's top articles about environmental health along the right side of their front page. These stories come from the established feed 'Environment and health' (see below).

• www.OurStolenFuture.org uses a series of feeds from EnvironmentalHealthNews, each customized to the page on which it is displayed. Compare the feed on the home page to these, one about a chemical called bisphenol A, another about another family of chemicals called phthalates. The feed on the front page comes from the established feed 'Endocrine disruption' (see below); the others are individual searches providing user-customized feeds (see below).

• AlGore.com displays a feed from EnvironmentalHealthNews about climate on the home page.

Our established feeds rely upon our editors to choose which stories should be assigned to which feed with care. Because these are hand-picked, they are very precise about their contents. But they are limited in number and subject matter.

You are welcome to use any of these. It would be helpful to us if you tell us that you have implemented a feed.

Our user-customized feeds allow any user to perform a search in our archives, and use the results of that search to define a feed fitting their interest. These are highly versatile, but sometimes difficult to structure so that you get exactly what you want.

Feel free to create your own custom feed. It would be helpful to us if you tell us that you have implemented a feed.

Javascript Wizard. This is easiest.

One each page in our archives in the upper right, beneath the masthead, you will see a javascript button like the one to the left. To use it, go to one of the feed links above or perform a search in the archives. Click on the javascript feed button on the resulting search page and work through 6 simple steps that allow you to specify font, color, number of headlines, etc. Take the resulting javascript code and paste it into the HTML on your page where you want the feed to appear. When visitors come to that page, the code will send an instruction to our server to grab content for your page and insert it where you have specified.

RSS. This requires some programming skills beyond simple HTML and also some software.

(this button is not active)

There are many ways to implement an RSS feed if your site has the requisite software installed. This approach gives you more precise control over the look and feel of the content than the javascript approach, above, so it's better for you. It also can be implemented in ways that reduce the amount of processing required by our server, so it's better for us.

The links to the right provide detailed examples of different approaches to using the XML Stylesheet Language. The first creates a new page that contains only news. The second example inserts news into an existing page using Server-Side Includes.
