If the blog is syndicated - available as RSS - then you got it made!
I use
a feed reader called Carp when I want to display up to the minute headlines or content from sindicated sites (news and blogs). It is a php include so the links render for the SEs.
What you do is make a spot, div or table cell, I guess I don't need to tell you this part! LOL, but anyways, (I am assuming you have php on your server) you just upload and instal this 'Carp', it takes exactly one click to do this, and it gives you a little block of code to put into your pages wherever you want to display a feed.
You can put any valid feed in there, in fact I have never had anything not work. It seems to hande every version of RSS and RDF going.
Here is the
Carp Page.
Here is a feed from Kirupa (good flash site) I just put up on my site so you can view source and see how it renders.
This is the actual code I have in the page:
Code:
<style type="text/css">.feedbox {
font-size: .9em;
color: #003333;
background: #CCFFFF;
text-align: left;
height: 300px;
width: 35%;
border: 1px solid #FF0000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="feedbox">
<?php
require_once '/home/mikx22/carp/carp.php';
// Add any desired configuration settings below this line using "CarpConf" and other functions
CarpCacheShow('http://www.kirupa.com/modular/kirupa.xml');
?>
</div>
OOoopppsss!!!!! I forgot to give the div 'overflow:auto', thats why it is full height instead of 300px.
Anywhoo, I hope this helps. Anything dynamic is going to have to be done witha server side language if you don't use javascript, I am pretty sure.
