We will make a back link to any website making a link to this blog using any of these methods, which will boost your own search engine ranking: here’s the honor roll. Just tell us when you have installed it.
For the larger box version, you can use a CSS div around the feed to enclose it in a border of chosen width and height,
for instance something like <div style="border:1px solid gray; padding:5px; font-size:80%; height:250px; width:200px; overflow:scroll;">
and adjust code and add a title and description to suit your requirements, as we have done in the example on the right.
You can also adjust the number of words in the description of each blog post, by changing the the value in the coding
excerptLength=30 to any figure you prefer. To change the number of blog posts displayed, adjust this code:
&nItems=10. Other format changes are
explained here.
You will also need CSS to style the feed content to your own preferences – by default, it comes with bullets by each item, the date below the headline, and no space above each headline. We suggest you use something like the following in your page head or added to an external CSS file:
ul { list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; }
li { margin-top:5px; }
.headline {font-weight:bold;}
.date {display:inline;margin-left:5px;font-size:80%;}
To prevent this style affecting other items on your page, enclose the feed coding
within a div with an id or class, you can then limit the CSS above to style only these elements within the div:
eg; div#feedboxname ul { CSS HERE } or .feedboxname ul { CSS HERE }
then copy/paste this code into your own page:
Links in the blog feed will automatically open in a new browser/tab window.
If you prefer to make a simple page link to DEI (or add to a blogroll), use this code. We also have a short news release for magazines and newsletters.
