Welcome to the Museums and Galleries Month RSS newsfeed page. If that sounds like too much technology info to you - then listen again. Using a new web channel called RSS (really simple syndication) you can quite easily display listings info from the MGM 2006 database directly on your website - for free.
To make that happen, we give your webmaster a simple line of javascript code. When the Javascript is cut and pasted into a web page, whether on a database generated site or an html website, our MGM 2006 display box pops up onto the page. What's even better is that the box acts like a 'corridor' to the MGM database, so when new events are inputted by curators or museum staff they automatically appear in the box on your site.
More than that, if you'd like a specially tailored listings feed - we can do that too. 24 Hour Museum and MGM 2006 can produce customised listings for some English cities (Brighton, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester, Norwich, Newcastle/Gateshead and London) as well as Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and many counties.
If you'd like to use the feed - get in touch with 24 Hour Museum Editor, Jon Pratty (editor@24hourmuseum.org.uk) or 24 Hour Museum Marketing Manager Ruth Cobb (ruth@24hourmuseum.org.uk). We'll discuss with you how to make the next steps.
