Instructions








our team contact us site map	News Feed Instructions You can include headlines, the first sentence, and a link to the full Nanotechnology and Development News summary (which includes a link to the full story) on your own website. This free service provides the latest news about nanotechnology and development on your own website. The news feed can be adapted to your website and is maintenance free; it automatically updates as soon as new news appears on Nanotechnology and Development News. If you would like to use the Nanotechnology and Development News feed on your own website, please follow these instructions. If you need help implementing the news feed, please contact Monique Gilbert. We can provide limited help, if needed, changing the "look and feel" (e.g., font) of the news feed, as it appears on your website. Please e-mail us if you implement the nanodev news feed on your website, so we can notify you if there are changes to the news feed coding. Instructions On your web page, please place the following code in the "header": <!-- include the following into your website, changing the style below to fit your theme --> <style type="text/css" media="all"> /* begin styles for RSS Feed This is the most basic style to use for a list with no bullets / .rss_box { width: 300px; background-color: #ffffff; } .rss_title, rss_title a { margin: 0px 0; padding: 0; } .rss_items { list-style:none; margin:0; padding:0; } .rss_item { font-size: x-small; margin-bottom: 1em;; } .rss_item a:link, .rss_item a:visited, .rss_item a:active { } .rss_item a:hover { } .rss_date { font-size: xx-small; } </style> This will display a simple, basic feed style, with no bullets and little extra formatting. For a formatting style with bullets, use the following code instead (note: do not* use both this code and the code above**): <!-- include the following into your website, changing the style below to fit your theme --> <style type="text/css" media="all"> .rss_box { width: 300px; background-color: #ffffff; } .rss_title, rss_title a { margin: 0px 0; padding: 0; } .rss_items { list-style:none; margin:0; padding:0; } .rss_item { font-size: x-small; margin-bottom: 1em;; } .rss_item a:link, .rss_item a:visited, .rss_item a:active { } .rss_item a:hover { } .rss_date { font-size: xx-small; } </style> And the following tag should be inserted within the 'body' tags at the position on your site where you want the newsfeed to appear : <script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.merid.org/nanodev/feed/feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.merid.org%2Fnanodev%2Fnanodev.xml&chan=y&desc=1&date=y" type="text/javascript"></script> <noscript> <a class="green" href="http://www.merid.org/nanodev/feed/feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.merid.org%2Fnanodev%2Fnanodev.xml&chan=y&desc=1&date=y&html=y">View RSS feed</a> </noscript> This will give you our general newsfeed (www.merid.org/nanodev/). However, if you would prefer the newsfeed to have the colours/style of your website, you can change the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) properties contained in the header.
