What is RSS?

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication." It is a way for websites that regularly update their content (such as news sites and blogs) to send out partial or full articles or posts as they are added. Subscribing to this kind of "RSS Feed" is usually free, and allows readers to easily track new information as it appears on the site.

RSS Feeds can be added to an Isidore site using the News Feed tool. The News Feed tool itself only needs to be added one time. You can add as many RSS Feeds inside the tool as you would like using the 'Subscriptions' button.

How do I reorder the RSS Feeds I've added to my site?

First, you need to click on the 'Options' link at the top of the News Feeds tool. Next, use your mouse to drag and drop the subscriptions in the order you desire under the 'Subscriptions order' section.

How do I change the viewing options for the RSS Feeds?

In the upper-right corner of the News Feeds tool you will see two drop-down menus. These menus dictate the date range of the news you see and in which view.

Detailed - the user will see the topic titles inside the RSS Feeds along with a small piece of the story.
Titles - the user will see the topic titles inside the RSS Feeds.
Compact - the user will only see the RSS Feed titles.
