jQuery Plugin To Display RSS Feeds On Your Webpage - YRSS

YRSS is a jQuery RSS reader plugin which uses YQL to fetch data from any RSS feed and display it on your webpage. Easy to customize with lots of configuration options.

How to use it:

1. Load jQuery library and the jQuery YRSS plugin at the end of the html document.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>

2. Create a container to place your RSS feeds.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="yrss.js"></script>

3. Call the plugin on the container and specify the RSS source.

$('.rss-feed').yrss('http://feeds.feedburner.com/jquery-script?format=xml')

4. Style your RSS feeds.

.rss-feed {
  ...
}

.rss-feed h4 { 
  ...
}

.rss-feed img {
  ...
}
