Add a RSS Reader

 

 

 

 

 

 

RSS Reader is used to read and publish frequently updated syndicated web content

(RSS Feed) that comes from another website. 

      
 

 Webtreepro offers you the ability to add a RSS Reader to your website. 

Examples of RSS Feed often  include news and blog feeds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Webtreeproallows you to insert

an RSS Reader

 to a certain page, or pages,

within your website.  

RSS Readers can offer your visitor

regularly updated content

such as foreign weather reports for travelers, blogs, and/or current events.

To add an RSS Reader, go to the gray panel to the left of your screen, and

click the Add Content button.

 

 

 

 

   1.   Scroll down to select RSS Reader from the Add Content Type screen.

 

 

 

 

 

   2.   Click Next  .  It will bring up the Placement screen.  Choose the page Placement and Panel options.

         To review Content Placement, click here

   3.   Click Next  .   It will show the Details screen, seen below.  The Details screen has two tabs.

 

         

   

Details; Common tab:

 

   4.   At the first tab, Common, you will set up the source of the RSS Feed, and decide how you want the content from the

          RSS Feed to appear on your web page.

 

 

 

 

The RSS icon was decided upon by

 several major Web browsers.

The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's URL

 into the RSS reader, as seen above. 

You also can click on a RSS icon in a web browser that will start up the subscribing process. 

Since some RSS URLs are long and complicated,

you may want to use the Ctrl + C keys on your keyboard

to copy the URL, and then use Ctrl + V keys to place the URL in the appropriate space.

  

 

   5.   Enter RSS Feed Url for the RSS Feed you want displayed on your web page.

   6.   Show last entries.  From the dropdown, choose the number of RSS Feed items you want to have placed on your

          web page.

  7.   Now, go to the Style tab, next to the Common tab, and click to see the Style window shown below.

Click "Move to..." and another flyout appears.  Make a selection.  In order to move the RSS Feed to its perfect location, this process may need to be repeated.
