I have a code to a http://www. page that hosts my RSS feed for me-

How can I enter this in a page and have it goto the page to include the content on my page?

Upload the html code via the file manager and then place on the page with the custom code module. If you mean just a link then add it via the advanced text editor. HTH

I have the link in notepad as both a .php and a .html

I uploaded the file vis custom code and then placed in the page

When I saved and viewed page it Displays The Link i.e. http://www.... on the page i nstead of going to the url where the content is hosted?

What did I do wrong?

Oh wait...I just included the link itself in Notpad..
So it displays as text instead of executing as html.

But what is the minimum code I need to add to make it work...like this?

<html>
<body>

http://www...the link.com

</body>
</html>

Sorry thought you just wanted a link on the page which customer clicked to go to content. If you have the actual HTML code of the rss feed then paste it into notepad, save it as say 'RSS.html' then upload via file manager within soho. If you want the page to redirect to another site when the button is pressed you could maybe upload a redirect script onto the page. Do a googgle for 'free html redirect script'. This should find one for you. Is this what you mean?

Sorry, i'm being a bit thick this morning, The only html you need to get the link to work will be like the example below

<a href="http://www.Google.com">google</a>

You do not need to have a html or body tag before this. Just save the page as say rss.html and it'll work fine. HTH

Now that you explained more I guess I can actually go a step further with my question.

I guess the redirect is what I'm after- but I may as well push it to the next limit-

Since the visitor is being redirected then the page of content they are sent to will not have menu items from my template on it. So, how will they get back to my site easily? i.e. what will happen when they X/close the page that they have been redirected to?

Just for clarification- I want the visitor to click on a menu item- and be sent to the http://www... so as I understand it- this will need a redirect...correct?

Thanks very much for all of the help

Most redirect scripts open up in a new window so once they close the rss feed window your site will still be there underneath it. You can nearly always find whatever script you want just by typing it into Google.
