RSS Feed

How do I add an RSS feed to my page?

RSS feed readers are used to bring content (usually in summary form) from another website to your page. They're great because once installed, anytime something new happens over at the other site, the conent on your page updates automatically.

One Samoana uses RSS feeds a lot to connect to blogs (like our Ala Mai feature in Le A'ai) or even news headlines. You can do the same in your faleo'o.

On your page, look for the subheader called RSS. It should be in the left column at the very bottom (see image above).

Hit EDIT on that subheader. That will pull up these options:

TITLE: Give your feed a name, for example 'MY COOL AZ BLOG'.

URL: The URL is the location of your feed. It can look something like

==> http://1samoana.com/mycoolazblog

But for RSS, you also have to add the word 'feed' at the end, so

==> http://1samoana.com/mycoolazblog/feed

is what you would put in URL section.

DISPLAY: You have the option of bringing either a detailed view (summary) of each post or just the title / headline. Remember that the detailed view may also bring photos from the original page.

SHOW: Choose how many items (e.g. blog posts) you want to show up on your faleo'o.

Don't forget. Just like most of the subheaders on your page, you can drag your RSS feed to a position that suits you.
