I was trying to find a way to get the latest article posts dynamically on the homepage M2Volt.com. This needed to be client side since it is outside of the CMS we are using for our blog page. I stumbled upon a plugin on the jQuery site, jgfeed, that blew my socks off it was so easy to use and I decided to write this one up.

Check out this jQuery plugin: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jgfeed

Here is how easy this plugin is to use:

Step 1: Link to the JS

Step 2: Configure a snippet of JS

jQuery.jGFeed('http://www.m2volt.com/blog/feed/',
function(feeds){
  // Check for errors
  if(!feeds){
    // there was an error
    return false;
  }
  // do whatever you want with feeds here
  for(var i=0; i"
    + entry.title + "
" + entry.publishedDate + "
" + entry.contentSnippet + "

");
  }
}, 3);

This will inject 3 entries to the div with id=”injectRssFeed”

Step 3: Uhh, thats it.

Check out the Latest Blog Posts section: m2volt.com

Mad props to the guys who developed this plugin.
