Lastly, there are many more advanced options for including a RSS feed in your site. It looks a little too much like the ads which run at the bottom of eCommerce sites. One thing I don’t like though is how Weebly formats the Feed. I played around with this a little bit a decided that going full page in width with a couple lines of text was the most engaging. Weebly also provides some option on how much text of the blog post to include and how many pixels the control should consume on the page. Likewise, there was no difference between rdf and atom. However, I found that once I added them into Weebly there wasn’t any difference between rss and rss2. WordPress provides 4 basic options of rss, rss2, rdf, and atom. The URL will need to be modified to include the name of our blog. You can find a list of possible URL options at the following link: WordPress RSS URLs. In the field called “Feed Address (URL)” past the link of the WordPress URL. You can click the control and it will open the edit screen. In this case the “Feed Reader” defaulted to CNN posts. Drag and drop that control on the page you’d like to add the dynamic feed of blog posts to. In the Weebly toolbar on the left you’ll see an icon called “Feed Reader”. And, the instructions that I’m posting from WordPress are more universal in nature. However, I imagine there is some overlap in what I’m about to illustrate with a few of the other tools. The screenshots are showing how this is done in Weebly. So, I decided to add a dynamic feed of blog posts to the homepage. This week I wanted to add something special to my website production.
