DIY shared news
Want to add a ccd.net news feed to your site? You can add member news, projects and organisations, and configure these to the needs of your site. For example, display news items from a particular state or territory, the number of items displayed, description length, integrated with the look of your website. To start, follow the steps below. For an overview of RSS and news syndication, see the ccd.net Shared news page.
The only requirement to display ccd.net content is to register your organisation and/or website on the the ccd.net organisation register. If you haven't registered already, complete and send the form on theSubmit your details page.
ccd.net provides two ways to display news feeds on your site.

All you need for this option is basic HTML code editing skills and some basic knowledge of HTML and Javascript. To use this option, go to step 3 below. RSSIf your website supports display of external RSS feeds (eg content management systems) then you can use this option to include ccd.net content. You can also use this option to include ccd.net content in desktop software that support RSS (eg Amphetadesk or Newsgator). To use the RSS option. go to step 4 below.
For this option, first select what ccd.net 'feeds' you want to use - member news, projects or organisations, or a combination of all 3. The HTML code for each of these feeds appears below.
