Please Note: You may not use the MidCurrent News Feed without both attribution and links back to MidCurrent if you are republishing our content on a public Web site!
Web Site Use Requirements: As a minimum, we require that MidCurrent be clearly named as the source of the news and that our headlines link back to the complete news item on the MidCurrent site. (If you have questions about permitted usage, please ask — we're always happy to help.)
There are a variety of simple ways to add the MidCurrent daily news to your Web site homepage.
We currently provide our news feed in 3 formats:
 http://www.midcurrent.com/news/index.rdf
 http://www.midcurrent.com/news/index.xml
 http://www.midcurrent.com/news/atom.xml
In order to add our news headlines and excerpts to your site, you will need to use one of two different techniques:
1. The Easy Way: Add 3rd party code which consumes our feed to your page(s). Here are some Web-based which provide the service of generating this code free of charge:
Each of these services (and many others) will allow you to plug one of our XML news feed URLs into a form and provide you with JavaScript code that can be inserted directly into your Web page(s).
2. The More Sophisticated Way: Add server-side scripting to your pages to consume and display the XML entries provided in our feed. The advantages this method are more complete control of formatting and reduced risk that a 3rd-party provider will discontinue service. MidCurrent uses ASP.NET to display its own news feed on the homepage.
