There are many ways to create aggregated content for your site. One of the ways that I’d like to discuss today is creating aggregated content with Feedburner.
I’m not certain how, using this method, you would get other sites aggregated content, but if you have more than one website and want to promote one sites content on your other site then this method is very easy to do. The first steps are of course to create an account with Feedburner, and create a feedburner feed for your site.
Sign into your feedburner account, select one of your sites feedburner feeds, and then go to the Publicize section, and select BuzzBoost.
Setting up BuzzBoost for your sites feedburner feed will give you a piece of HTML code that you can place on a website or blog page to show the latest feeds for a particular site. There are a number of options you can select – one is how many recent posts to show, whether to show the posts in plain text of html, as an excerpt or full text and so on.
When I first set up this site I decided to aggregate the content of my other blogs and websites and display it here on my “My other Sites” page.
I set up the feeds for my other sites to show three recent posts, and I created an image of each site to place above it’s aggregated content. Underneath each of the feeds, and in fact underneath each one of the posts on this site there is a “subscribe to this feed” link. I created that link using FeedFlare in the optimizing section of Feedburner.
Give this a try if you’d like to cross promote your sites.
