health08.org encourages non-profit organizations, government agencies, academic institutions and other organizations to link to our Web site or syndicate headlines. Our election-related news summaries are part of the Kaiser
Daily Reports, which are published on one of the Kaiser Family Foundation's other Web sites, kaisernetwork.org. You can choose to syndicate just the election-related headlines (by choosing the "election 2008" topic; see more information below) or you can choose to syndicate all of the headlines from any or all of the four Kaiser Daily Reports.
By simply copying and pasting a few lines of
code (HTML-include or XML), you'll be able to have daily news summary headlines
from any four Kaiser Daily Reports appear on your organization's Web site.
When
your Web site visitors click on the news summary headlines on your site, they
will click through directly to that story on health08.org where they can
read the entire news summary and follow links to the original news article or
related information. (Note: Clicking on a headline will prompt a new window to
appear, so Web site visitors will not actually leave your
site.)
Syndicating news summaries is easy! First, you have
a few choices to make:
Do you want to syndicate all the headlines from a report(s) or do you want
to filter headlines for stories relating only to certain topics? View a list of
topics.
On what specific page on your organization's Web site would you like the
headlines for the headlines to appear? View examples of how the
syndicated headlines look on other Web sites.
Do you want to use XML/RSS or HTML-include? Your web technician will be able
to determine which would work best for your Web site.
XML/RSS - We provide a URL that your web technician can plug into an RSS
feed reader. This gives you the most options for displaying headlines filtered
topic or keyword. Your web technician will be able to tell you if an RSS feed
reader can be implemented on your Web site.
HTML-Include - We will provide the URL that your web technician uses to
create an HTML-Include that displays the headlines and links

with links. This format is easily parsable to be integrated into many Web
applications (e.g. Java, Flash, etc.).
