One of the most effective methods of engaging visitors on your web page is providing them dynamic and compelling content regularly (we are going to post a separate article on that, stay tuned). RSS is one of those many effective methods of obtaining and displaying dynamic content and PaRSS make it easy to implement.

PaRSS is a jQuery plugin for displaying RSS feed from a given source in user-defined format/style. It uses  a UL or OL element from your style sheet to display content on your HTML page.

PaRSS uses the Google Feed API to parse the feed into JSON data, which it then uses to build the li elements which are added to the page.

RSS items are placed within the span tag and you can use CSS on any of the span elements to style your list.
