Well, you will probably want to use the rss feed for that site, instead of the HTML. This tutorial should be helpful...

http://juniorgoldreport.com/ - is the website I'm trying to create an RSS feed for and SEO better.
https://feedity.com/ - is what I'm using to see if I can create the feed, and then ultimately create an app.
A decent amount of my front page content is built via plugin that organize my post's making the maintenance of the website much easier for me, and allowing my employer to post content with ease as well.
Taking a look at the feed, it seems that the website cannot see anything.
From my understanding these post's are being displayed via a proper HTML format, the have h1 tags and proper div blocks and classes.
Do you guys have any suggestions as to how I should I could go about creating a proper feed? Is this a common issue within wordpress?
I'm currently building another website from scratch with a custom CMS (not via wordpress)
What are you suggestions?
RSS feeds are built into Wordpress. Take a look at this page from the Codex about feeds and how to access them.
As a primer you use http://juniorgoldreport.com/feed/ and get the RSS. If you want to access a specific category you'd use http://juniorgoldreport.com/category/[categoryslug]/feed. You can do the same thing with tags.
As for a non Wordpress site I can't say what the best way would be. There are many options.
I'm a newbie and want to create a website, that retweets posts from twitter of a certain hashtag automatically on my site. I want to use my own css style for the posts and embed the raw content to my website.
Is that possible?
What's the easiest language and way to solve this? Every 5 minutes the website should scan twitter again for new tags.
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Basically Twitter Api seems to support everything that you need. You'll have to authenticate with OAuth, after that you can call the link of the API with the parameters (Like shown in this tutorial with php) and you'll get a JSON back, which means you can use any programming langauge that can parse JSON (so basically every web-language you like).
Here's a tutorial that might get close to what you want, but it's written in php: code.tutsplus
I'm creating a Shopify store for a client who does not obviously know coding. He will need to update content on the website (and I have coded some pages with certain layouts (in the html part of the content) so when he types his content it often breaks our design)
As an alternative solution, I'm thinking of using the blog feature.
I know Shopify lets us create a page with only a certain blog, but what it does is show up in the URL - as a ...blog/cocktails.
That is not good for the end user, because I merely want it to be a page that calls the blog articles from this blog. I'm unable to find a way to do it.
I tried replacing blog.content with blog['cocktail'].content and etc..
but it didn't do anything.
Alternatively are there any suggestions how you can design a page and let clients add their own content just by typing (for instances where its a list of recipes for example)?
I think it would be best to create a custom page template same as blog page.
It will solve your all problems(i think) because first your url problem will be solved by it user has to just assign a template from backend.
Second one most important user can update its content from backend and it will not disturb your html.
If you still have problems just customise html and css.
I hope it will help you.
I am working on a relatively simple website and I am required to incorporate some form of news feed into it, that can be easily updated without having to re-upload the site each time.
My solution to this currently is to use an <iframe> that displays content from a Google Blogger blog. However, the fact the iframe is smaller than the width of the blog I am asking it to display, makes the whole thing look very messy and unprofessional.
I have tried to remove the majority of the formatting from my blog, so it looks better in the iframe, however this also means the blog has no formatting when viewed fullscreen, or on the blogger site itself.
My question is:
I am wondering if I can manually retrieve the blog posts feed from blogger's database, and display them with my own formatting on my webpage, leaving the actual blog page untouched?
I hope I have explained that well enough, please comment if you require clarification.
Well, from my point of reference your problem is more of customising your blog. Well you can try this.
blogger-->Template-->Edit HTML(Instead of customisation)
There you will get messy HTML code. Find CSS Strips and edit as you want them. You can change variety from there. Gracius
I have a simple html/css-only static website on which I would like to add a blog. Comments and RSS aren't necessary.
Now, how do I do that, without having to write all my entries in pure html?
My website consists of a vertical menu and an area to the right of it, where all the content goes on each page. I would like a blog inside that area on the blog page, so a blog on a separate page with its own layout is not what I'm looking for.
Googling this doesn't really help me much since the majority of the hits are on sites offering blog services.
Thanks in advance, I hope I'm not being too difficult. Please leave some feedback on my question if you think there are things I should have tried out before asking.
If i understand what you want the answer is that ist is not possible in pure html and css. With only Html and css you can not make a blog (if you dont want to edit the source everytime you write an entry and have to make a new file for each entry and so on).
You need some code (php or so) that is able to store and load the entrys into your site.
Html and css are not meant to make things working. With Html you define the elements so that they are structed and then with css you "style" your work. But for the task of a blog (i think you want an editor for the text on the site, the ability to edit, delete, more than one site and so on) you need something like php or aps.net that is able to "interact".
