Adding Furl links to your site

An answer to Gen Kanai’s question – could you share with us how you were able to put your furled items into your blog?

Modify this script (a modified version of the GPL‘ed ‘t3h Geek’ variant of the Suttree PHP RSS parser) so as to make it point to the webfeed you want to include, put it in your webroot and change its name to e.g. rss.php; then make the page you want to include it in has a *.php extension (e.g. index.php) and add <?php @ require_once ("rss.php"); ?> to the page’s source. That’s it.

Caveat: if the webfeed the script is pointing to is down, the code after the require_once statement will not be rendered, in my case resulting in an incomplete sidebar. Alternative PHP and JavaScript methods can be found over at WebGraphics.
