ePortfolio: Adding an RSS Feed

Introduction

This tutorial will show you how to embed an RSS feed on a page.

Instructions

  1. Open a browser (e.g., Firefox, Internet Explorer) and search for an RSS feed (e.g.,“NY Times RSS Feed”)
    • Note: not all websites have RSS feeds. An orange icon with white curved lined usually indicates an RSS feed.
  2. Copy the feed URL from the address bar. 
  3. Log in to ePortfolio and click the three lines tab next to your profile and click the Pages and Collections. Once it has opened, select the page to add the RSS feed to and Edit on the bottom left corner of the page where you would like to add the RSS feed. 
  4. From the list of content blocks on the left, click the External menu. Drag and drop the External feed icon onto your page. Add a new block by clicking the plus sign on the right hand side of the page to add a new content block. Select External Feed. Click Save.         
  5. A dialog box will appear prompting you to insert the URL for the feed you wish to display. Click Save.
  6. Now your feed will be embedded on your page.
