Adding a news (or blog) feed into your site - using RSS

Imagine your email system - lots of people send you an email ant they all arrive conveniently in one place - your inbox

All you then do is read the ones you want to. It even tells you which ones you have read.

Well, RSS does the same for you with blogs and websites - it sends new information from any source (which has RSS buttons) to you and you can view lots of feeds from the same place

Please note: currently this is not available, but James assures me it will be added to plugins soon

The steps are fairly simple

  1. Log in to your admin section
  2. click on plugins
  3. choose ‘aggr’ and click on activate
  4. now copy the little bit of example code it shows you
  5. <!–rss url=”http://perassi.org/feed/“–>
  6. Yes, you will need all of it!
  7. I have bolded a bit of it you will need to replace later
  8. Start up a new post - or more possibly, a new page
  9. Give it a title and then click on the “code” tab
  10. paste this into the code section
  11. Now the clever bit
  12. get the rss address of the site you want
  13. to do this, right click on the RSS logo on the site you want to feed from - see above
  14. click on Copy shortcut or copy link location - whichever one turns up
  15. now replace the bit in bold with your feed address - it’s between the ” ” marks
  16. then publish
  17. now you will have the last 10 posts being pulled in directly to your site
