Add web evangelism news feed to your site

You can add a feed to your site, to draw down the latest news about web evangelism. There are a range of third-party sites which offer syndication code, such as BigBold.com and RSS-to-Javascript.com. However you can use our own code. If your pages are enabled for PHP, then you can include the following code: then copy/paste this code (using a text editor, or the code-editing mode of your HTML editor) to the point on your page where you wish it to appear.

Latest Web Evangelism News<br> <?php print(date("M Y")); if ($content = @file_get_contents('http://guide.gospelcom.net/resources/bullfeed.xml')) { # successful content fetch if (preg_match('|<description[^>]* id="bulletin"[^>]*>(.*?)</description>|is', $content, $content)) { # successfull match echo $content[1]; } } ?><br> <a href="http://guide.gospelcom.net/resources/currentbulletin.php">Read more</a>
