Afiliate DataFeed.

[pearz76]

I had download an afiliate datafeed xml from cj.com. But How can I covert it to static html web pages?

There is a program called webmerge that allows you to
publish datafeeds as html.

You have to set up templates and how the menus work, etc.

You can also use php to load it into a mysql database and
generate the pages on the fly (or, if you really want to,
generate static html pages on your server)

There are also php scripts around to do this for you
(can't remember which ones at the moment)

note that datafeeds can need "cleaning" - bad data, pricing at zero, etc.

Why not use an RSS plugin to post prducts to a blog?

That's actually a good idea. I've been using rss recently to produce content/products recently and results have been positive so far.

I usally us PHP to parse datafeeds into formats that I like to work with. I don't create static pages, but load them into my database. If you are good at programming, scripting, and databases you can automate the process and not have to manually intervien.
