Importing News from RSS Channels

RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, enables webmasters to automatically load favorite news and information about private websites from RSS news feeds (also called "channels"). Many well-known news communities and corporate websites offer news headlines and article summaries in the form of news channels. RSS readers retrieve the recent content from the RSS news feeds and display it on your website. Visitors can preview the recent news content from your website and will be redirected to the news page if they want to read the full story. The news from RSS channels are updated automatically, required no interaction from your part.

Using the RSS Reader integrated with SiteBuilder, you can easily add your favorite news from either well-known RSS news feeds or from your own RSS news channel to your website.

To add and configure the RSS Reader module

  1. Click RSS Reader Editor . A white rectangle representing the module appears on the web page. To configure the RSS Reader module, double click the module rectangle on the web page. The RSS Reader Editor screen opens.

    Selecting RSS Channel

  2. On the RSS Channels List tab, select the RSS channel from where you want to fetch the news.

    Note: The RSS reader integrated with SiteBuilder enables you to select only one RSS channel.

  3. If you want to add news from an RSS channel that is not in the list, click the Own RSS Channel Subscription tab and enter the URL of this RSS channel.
  4. Return to the RSS Channels List tab and select the Own RSS channel radio button.
  5. On the Preview tab, you can preview the news fetched from the selected RSS channel as they will appear on your website.
