How To Make Your Wordpress Blog IE8 WebSlice Ready

With a recent release of IE 8 came a new feature called Web-Slices, that lets you monitor updates from your favorites right from the favorite toolbar in a drop-down menu rather than having a visit to the site.

If you have a self-hosted weblog on WordPress, to make your WordPress weblog IE8 WebSlice Enable create a php (for ex. ie-webslices.php) file with the following code and save it.

<html><head> <title>Page Title</title> </head><body> <div class="hslice" id="1"> <h2 class="entry-title">Your Site Name</h2> <div class="entry-content"><ol> <?php require_once('wp-load.php'); $results = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT post_title, guid FROM $wpdb->posts where post_status = 'publish' ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 5"); foreach($results as $row) { echo "<li><a href='".$row->guid . "'>" . $row->post_title ."</a></li> \n"; } ?> </ol></div></div> </body></html>
