How to Add an RSS News Feed on to your Squidoo page

- An RSS Feed can be added to your web page in a matter of seconds.
- Once added you do not have to do anything more.
- Once added, an RSS feed displays up-to-date news headlines and articles on your web page regularly, this can be on a daily basis or on an occasional basis (it depends on the rss feed you choose to use).

- Create a squidoo web page (lens) - if you haven't already.
- Edit the lens / Edit this page (login and then go to your lens/page and click edit / edit this page).

Either:
- There is an 'Add Modules' shortcut on the right hand side: if you use the 'Add Modules' shortcut on the right hand side - click 'popular', then click the '+' symbol next to 'RSS: Add your blog', then click the 'add' button.

Or:
- Click the 'add modules' button (squidoo keep changing the position of this button), at the time of writing this, it is located at the very top of your squidoo 'my workshop'.
- Click the 'Add Unique Content' tab.
- Find the module named 'RSS: Add Your Own Blog' (click the 'next' button if it is not on the current page). It may also be named 'RSS: Add Your Own Feed'.
- Once found, click the 'add' link located next to the module named 'RSS: Add Your Blog' (repeat clicking the add link if you require more than one rss feed).
- Click the 'Save' button

(squidoo keep changing how/where to do the above part, this was correct at the time of writing this, please add a comment at the bottom if this no longer works for you).

You should now have a rss feed module on your 'Edit Lens' mode page titled 'RSS: Add Your Blog: New RSS: Add Your Blog'.

- Click 'EDIT' on the module titled: 'RSS: Add Your Blog: New RSS: Add Your Blog'
- Give your module a title and subtitle.
- In the box titled 'What URL would you like to pull RSS from?' you need to place the link of the rss feed you would like to use (see section below: 'how do I find and identify an rss link' for more information about this).
- In the box titled 'How many headlines would you like to show?' enter a number - this number represents how many news/article headlines will be displayed on your page.
- The 'Would you like to include an excerpt from each link in the feed??' represents whether you would like to display an introduction to each news/article headline.
- The 'How frequently should the module be updated?' represents how often you would you like your page to check if the rss news feed has been updated e.g. check if there is a new news headline or a new article.

RSS feed links can be found on many websites, they usually are identified by a small orange image titled 'rss' or 'xml' or a broadcast image. The image can be on the web page or located on the right hand side of the website address (e.g. www.)
Examples of which can be seen on the following pages:
Medical RSS News Feed Links
What Car? RSS Feed Links

Once you have found one of these images or an RSS link on your chosen subject, click on it. This should take you to a page that looks similar to the following examples:
Medical RSS News - This is the type of RSS Feed link that you need to copy
What Car? This is the type of RSS Feed link that you need to copy
- Once you have found a page like the examples above on your chosen subject; Copy the link from this type of page (this is the link that you must paste into the squidoo box titled 'What URL would you like to pull RSS from?').

WHERE CAN I FIND AN RSS LINK ON MY SUBJECT?
- There are now rss directories springing up that you can search for rss feeds on your chosen subject:
An RSS Directory
- You can search for rss on your subject in the search engines such as Google.
- You can search for rss on your subject in squidoo e.g. searching for 'medical rss news' in squidoo will bring up the following page of rss feeds:
Useful Medical and Health RSS News Feeds
