This Panel is used to add RSS (Really Simple Syndication) News feeds to the site. Once RSS Feeds have been added they can be used in the Web Designer. The RSS components can be added to any page you design bringing fresh news to any web page. There are many thousands of RSS feeds available on the Internet for free consumption. Using this panel, defining them to the site is really simple.
Most of the time, all you have to do is copy the RSS url to the RSS-URL are and click on the Test button to see what you get. Then use the Options to filter and format the Feed to your liking.
