Free Museums And Galleries Month Listings and Events Feed For Your Website
03/04/2006
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.
And here's what the feed looks like, below. This is the national MGM 2006 feed of all events. As displayed here, it shows lots of events, but it can be formatted by us to show as many or as few events as you wish.
