In this tutorial, I'm going to be going over the RSS widget, specifically the List RSS widget

00:00:08

What this does is this lets you quickly and easily import an RSS or Adam feed into the page

00:00:14

Now for those who are not familiar with RSS and Adam feeds, I suggest you look up what they are to learn a bit more about them

00:00:22

But just to summarize, they're basically a type of content feed that is automatically uploaded from a separate website

00:00:29

And unlike mailing lists and stuff like that, they don't require any personal information to join and they're very easy to un -join, you would simply disconnect from the feed

00:00:39

So this is a great way to stay updated on specific subjects or certain content by simply joining those feeds

00:00:45

So in order to join an RSS feed, you have to find the link to that particular feed and then you would create the widget right here

00:00:52

Once you've created the widget, it's going to ask you for that feed URL

00:00:57

In this particular case, I have the Wall Street Journal, specifically the Technology News section of the Wall Street Journal

00:01:05

So you'd simply paste the URL right there and you determine the type of feed if it's an RSS or an Adam feed

00:01:11

Those are just slightly different technologies and you can determine the items per page that are going to load automatically and how the page is load

00:01:17

So once we save this, you'll see on the right -hand side here, it's going to automatically load this news feed

00:01:23

This is talking all about the technology from Wall Street Journal

00:01:26

Let's talk about Tesla and Qualcomm and Facebook

00:01:29

So it's very easy to add multiple feeds to a page

00:01:33

You'd simply add multiple widgets

00:01:36

You determine your feed for each one

00:01:38

You can determine how it's organized and how it looks with the items per page if you only want a few items per page

00:01:43

You can do less or more items per page and how those pages load

00:01:48

So this one automatically loads

00:01:51

When I scroll down, it's going to, it'll sit loading and scroll down automatically

00:01:56

Or you can determine if you want to actually click the Show More button, in which case when I show down

00:02:01

Or when I scroll down, I'll have to manually click the Show More button before it loads

00:02:07

And you can also determine how it looks in the list style and layout

00:02:12

You should probably be familiar with this already if you've used any lists before

00:02:17

You can determine the columns on mobile versus desktop

00:02:20

As well as whether the text is above below or left or right of the images and how the images look and whether it opens in a page or in a little pop -up model

00:02:30

And you can even show it as an accordion

00:02:32

And the additional options are just like all the other widgets

00:02:36

You can switch this for mobile or desktop only or login

00:02:42

And you can set backgrounds, custom widget classes and different animations as well

00:02:47

So RSS is very easy to use

00:02:50

The hardest part is probably finding the feeds that you want to join

00:02:54

Once you found the feed, you'd simply create the widget, paste the URL right there, and then you'd organize how you want to see it and how it looks on mobile versus desktop

00:03:03

And then once you're all set, you can create more RSS feeds or however you want to do it, they're very easy to use
