Hi,

Thanks for the post!

I am not sure that I understand what it is you are looking to do. Is your goal to create an RSS feed of your website? Or are you wanting to add an RSS feed to your website?

Could you perhaps provide me a few more details on what it is you are trying to accomplish, once I understand your needs a bit better I will be happy to help you with working out your RSS questions. :)

I look forward to hearing back from you!

Hi Sauron,

Thanks for the post and the additional details! Smile

Setting up an RSS feed on your site is actually something that will work a bit differently than what you've described.

RSS feeds are designed so visitors can subscribe to your content. Whenever you modify or add new content, these subscribers will see the headlines in their RSS "reader" without having to actively come to your website. They can then click any headlines that grab their interest, driving traffic back to your site. You can learn more about setting up an RSS feed through Article Manager by reading this tutorial:

http://www.interactivetools.com/products/articlemanager/tutorials/rss.html

For your index page, you actually wouldn't be using an RSS feed. You'd actually want to use a Server Side Include (SSI) to bring in the latest headlines onto an index page of your site.

You may want to have a look at this forum post on our site that outlines how you can set this up:

I hope this helps and if you have any other questions or comments, just let me know! Smile
